Hi I'm setting up Xubuntu on a friends computer(yes im spreading Ubuntu like a virus) and they have 56k internet, so basically heres the question, If i used this modem:

(which i bought and successfully set up on my friends computer(he also has 56k internet obviously but he also has a serial port).
and then i bought a Usb-->Serial connector
then hook the modem up threw a usb connection could I get it to work, and if so how?
yea and I would be most likely using a Xubuntu also the my friend is getting a lap top that she wants to hook up to the internet as well, im going to put ubuntu on it so if you could give me help for setting it up on 2 different distributions that would be cool
Also this is completely off topic but, My friends computer is an old P4 and was just wondering what the lightest version of ubuntu is and what can i do to make it perform very fast,I heard it was Xubuntu that was the best but then i read that it was buggy and not much faster. IDK I just want to make the computer fast to save these people money.
