With regards to legacy type hardware, some options for
the system include:
Puppy Linux
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=puppy
Ubuntu Lite (U-Lite)
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ulite
using Ubuntu
TinyMe http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=tinyme
based on Unity Linux.
Zenwalk http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=zenwalk
Vector http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=vector
both based on Slackware Linux.
There as several that can be used on older hardware, it
just depends on flavour or version of linux the distro is
based on.
