Try Lubuntu and Xubuntu. Your system could probably handle at least

I'm also running an old system at home. I still use 8.04 because some

A year or two??? HA, my home system is more like 7 years old, and
no budget to get anything else. I hope that's not a requirement
for OSes from this point out, otherwise I'll be going back to
