I still have an old HP tower with 1gig of RAM. It has LL 3.8 on it and dual boots with Debian 9 XFCE on an 80Gig HDD. The biggest problem with less than 1gig of RAM is the installation and update process. Also you will usually have the best luck on old hardware if it is all Intel. I loved LL 2.8 (Ubu 14.x) with the old compiz and KDE tweaks you could do to it, but many things involving web browsing will now give you issues, and most secure sites will reject you. I would try LL 3.8 first. It may just take some time to install, and it will bump to swap and slow browsing sometimes but it should run pretty good. What will help is to partition the disk how you want it before installing, and using a direct ethernet connection to the Internet.
