Depending on the specs of your older system, you may want to consider Xubuntu - which is Ubuntu-based and is "ideal for old or low-end machines, thin-client networks, or for those who would like to get more performance out of their hardware."

See http://www.xubuntu.org/

The minimum system requirements are as stated below:

"To run the Desktop CD (LiveCD + Install CD), you need 128 MB RAM to run or 192 MB RAM to install. The Alternate Install CD only required you to have 64 MB RAM.

To install Xubuntu, you need 1.5 GB of free space on your hard disk.

Once installed, Xubuntu can run with 64 MB RAM, but it is strongly recommended to use at least 128 MB RAM."
