I also have Xubuntu 7.10 - one version old but Xubuntu is good on low-spec
systems. I found it quite usable on my P3-1Ghz boxes with 512Mb Ram.

BTW once you have an Ubuntu system running it is very easy to try out
the various desktop set-ups if you find you prefer one over another for
some reason (or like to have the choice of all of them in any
session!) to install the respective desktops on a Ubuntu base (you
need broadband connection):<br>
for Gnome desktop do: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop<br>
for Xfce desktop do: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop<br>
for kde 3.5 desktop do: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop<br>
for kde 4 desktop do: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop<br>
