Hi Alan, for such low spec machines it *may* be worth trying the Lubuntu suite on them. Lubuntu gets full adoption at 11.10 by Canonical, the 11.04 is happily running now. For really old kit (pre i686) lubuntu are going to continue to backport to the 10.04 stable beta the lxde and pcmanfm etc. for a while yet. (I think we were discussing 5 years).
Regards, Phill.
