Well I have been through most distros trying to install on an older computer.
After approximately a week I was finally able to load linux mint mate 17.1 32 bit.
The only problem so far is it is no longer updated and if you use the updater
you get updated to 19.1 64 bit which if I am not mistaken will not run on the computer
in question.
After 20 plus years of windows it will take at least a couple of years to acclimatize myself
to linux so expect a lot of questions.
