Ubuntu can run on just about anything. There are a few versions of it that are designed specifically for older systems. (Kubuntu/Xubuntu)
What's nice is that there isn't really much of a learning curve, it's all nice and straightforward.

The community is very friendly, and they can answer or already have answered just about any questions you can think of.

Note: I had only ever used windows. I tried out Ubuntu at the suggestion of a friend and it's still on my desktop. The setup was a breeze aside from an issue with my wireless card, and it only took a few minutes to fix that. Everyone should try this at least once! You can use one of their LiveCDs (Which is what you install from anyway) to try it before you install.
