I started using Lubuntu on single-core Thinkpads and liked it. It could
install in 512mb of RAM, I usually ran it in 2GB. LXDE was a nice
environment and the apps were smaller/lighter than the usual - Sylpheed
for email instead of Thunderbird, for example. It felt like old school
Ubuntu with enough eye candy to keep me entertained.
I liked Crashbang/BunsenLabs as well, think they used Blackbox. They
still supported 32-bit CPUs without PAE, for some reason Thinkpads of
that time supported PAE but didn't report it.
They switched to LXQT a while back, haven't used it since.
