Yes - try 11.10 from the live-CD.  If you like it, install it.  If you 
prefer the Gnome desktop, consider using XUbuntu.  On an older box, it 
might suit you better.  Again, run it from the live-CD until you are 
sure it's what you want.  If the live-CD does everything you want, Ok.  
If not, you'll know what the problems are without sabotaging your 
existing install.

Regards,        Barry.
