The type of operating system to use depends also on the amount of memory in the computer. These older computers usually feature 64-256 megabytes maximum.

64 mb + i would recommend using a light version of Linux (Google it, there will be a few light Linux versions, download the CD image, and write it to a CD, then Boot off of that CD on the older computer)

256 megabytes+ it is possible to use windows Me or windows 2000. Windows XP can work, but it is not worth buying XP. If you have a CD with XP on it, go ahead and try that.

Linux is a good choice.
