ubuntu on a low end Mac

[Michael Lacey]

If you want to install Ubuntu to that machine, your only viable choice is to
download and install the ALTERNATE CD, which will give you a text based
installer.

Personally I would not recommend it, even XFCE will bog down. I recommend
looking for a smaller distro, such as Puppy Linux or Damn Small Linux. Then
again, I'm not too sure about linux and macs. The system use by GNOME/KDE
desktop environments/window managers will definktely crush your computer
though.
