Didnt know about the lite version. Cool!
Yeah, the website says this:

I use Linux mint with the cinnamon desktop. I feel like it would run like a charm on older hardware.
This one will do the trick just fine https://sourceforge.net/projects/linnix/ 🙂
Go with the openbox version

running mint on an almost 10yr old laptop
Depends on specs...I'm running Lubuntu on a 10 year old chromebook with only 2 GB memory...and that's really pushing it. If you have at least 2 GB you can run Lubuntu--if not, then you're looking at one of the more lightweight distros--like Puppy (but those come with some compromises).
I'd try Lubuntu and see if that would suffice...
