I'd recommend q4os distro. I tried it on old toshiba chomebook with 2Gb RAM and it works quite well. Trinity desktop environment looks like old Windows. And another good alternative is Crunchbang++ (CBPP). OpenBox windows manager requires you to have alternative approach on UI a bit but it works very fast. I personaly use CBPP on my laptops (both, old and fresh enoght).
