Probably best. I ran Lubuntu live for ages.
It's also made me realise that I should probably run a couple of different live versions on mine to see which I prefer. I quite liked regular Ubuntu on my other half's laptop. So I may try that first, but still think it could be a bit much.
MATE seems like a good halfway house.

Cheers. Vista still boots ok and work fine as we don't use it for anything too intensive but it is getting slower. Part of the reason is also that Firefox, Norton etc aren't supporting it anymore so it makes sense to upgrade before it gets to risky to use for online banking etc.
Lubutntu looks nicer than Puppy Linux to me but I'll get them onto a USB stick and see what they are like.
