Several current versions, flavours and re-spins of Ubuntu are available for old hardware. See the first and last posts in this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2130640 All the following versions, flavours and re-spins can be installed with the One Button Installer, which makes it possible to install with lower RAM, than what is possible with the desktop and alternate installers. Summary of the last post: Lubuntu has the ultra-light desktop environment LXDE. The only current version is 13.10. Xubuntu has the light desktop environment XFCE, and there is a long time support version until April 2015, Xubuntu 12.04 LTS, not only 13.10. LXLE has the ultra-light desktop environment LXDE. The current version is 12.04 LTS with support until April 2017. Bento and Bodhi are other re-spins slightly farther away but still based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with support until April 2017. Precise Gnome Classic Tweaks is 'Ubuntu tweaked', so that it is using a basic and light-weight gnome desktop instead of Unity. supported until April 2017. I can recommend all these for old computers. Among those that work with your computer it is a matter of taste, which one of them you prefer.
