Hello!
The machine I'm on now (Compaq Evo N600c) has a P3M-1066 CPU, 512MB RAM, and LL 1.08 for now. I want to try 2.0 on it, and will keep that if performance doesn't take a huge hit, as Lubuntu doesn't seem to want to 'play nice' with the Bluetooth adapter (no Pulse audio, I guess).
With 1.08, as long as you don't try to do too much at once, you're OK...

Last of the P3's were a better CPU than the P4's were for some time!

Hello!
LL2 is a LOT faster on this old soldier than the 1.08 it replaced. I just might try 2.0 on some of the other old stuff around here...

I usually direct people with REALLY old machines to LXLE. It's a pretty solid LXDE based distro with a great selection of software.

Lite 2.2 is a LOT faster than Lubuntu 14.04 on my 7 years old computer

Hello!
Again, Welcome to Linux Lite.
You install Lubuntu, then you need Thunar (or to patch PCManFM to allow root access), add Pulse Audio to properly handle Bluetooth, then add a few more essentials, All of a sudden, Lubuntu also becomes slow. I reserve it - well stripped, of course - for the slowest machines. Haven't tried 'stripping' LL yet; that's a future project...
