Which build?

I obtained an old Intel Celery...er... Celeron system with 1Gb SDRAM and an 80GB HDD.

Basically, the processor is old and doesn't fair well under allot of load.

Which build would you all recommend going with to install on this system?

If you think it will not run well Ubuntu (gnome desktop) try Xubuntu. (http://www.xubuntu.org/get)

What makes Xubuntu so different from Ubunutu?

Xubuntu have lighter desktop and it need less ram to run it,but basically it is same OS.
