Am pretty sure the above config should meet those needs, but is there any further stripping i need to do while installing the standard ubuntu 6.06 dapper drake to make it more lightweight?
If you want lightweight and fast on the config you've mentioned then I'd suggest something on the lines of Debian/Gentoo/Slackware. You can get as minimalistic as possible with nothing more than a WM like blackbox/fluxbox and your browsers, etc.
If you don't have those distro CDs on hand then you'll probably have to fire up apt-get/aptitude/synaptic to spend a night removing everything you don't want.
I've had a minimal box on Celeron 500 MHz albeit with much more RAM (192 MB). It used to run KDE/Gnome a little slowly and XFCe was quite good. Blackbox was fast as a storm.
