If you have truly ancient machines, dyne:bolic is probably your best bet:</div><div style="font-family: Tahoma;"><a href="http://dynebolic.org/" target="_blank">http://dynebolic.org/</a></div><div style="font-family: Tahoma;">

<div style="font-family: Tahoma;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Tahoma;">On the other hand, most Linux systems will run OK on older hardware, but they probably won't handle the desktop environment. So, depending on hard drive space, you could just get e.g. UbuStu and switch GNOME for Xfce or LXDE.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Tahoma;">Another option is to get a "generic" lightweight Ubuntu (Lubuntu, Xubuntu) and install the apps/packages as needed. You'll probably need to install the realtime kernel, however. (Assuming that's important - you can actually get pretty good latency with the generic kernel, at least as good as latency on Windows.)</div>
