Granted, also XP in a year or so will be in the same state.

As long as it supports Physical Address Extention (PAE).  ALL of the recent 
Linux versions require it.  There is a upgrade work-around starting with a 
version from the Ubuntu 9.04 LTS era or earlier, but it is a PITA to do.

That seems to work well here as well.
