Ah, choices, choices!
Thanks, Rob.
I have successfully managed to download LXLE via torrent (that was a whole new experience!), checked the md5, and then burned the .iso to a DVD. Then - success again - I have just run a Live session from it on the 'old' (non-pae) laptop. Seems quite decent.
It's not that I'm lazy, but I'd rather load something that works, than select another distro which then needs some kind of workaround in order to get it to function on a non-pae computer. Maybe once I'm a lot further down the road with Linux I will be more willing to tackle workarounds and stuff in the dark spaces of the "terminal"!
