Lubuntu (with an "L") seems to work good on older comps.
There are several; Linux Mint Xfce, LXDE, Fluxbox, LMDE (Debian Edition), Zenwalk, Absolute Linux, Puppy Linux &c., http://distrowatch.com/
I run XandrOS Linux on my old Pentium 3.
It’s an older build, around 2003 I think, and will wipe/format the
drive and set it up to run Linux.
I’s small, functional, and fast.
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 LTS FLUXBOX which is lightweight whilst retaining many of the features of the standard edition its is easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled
