Linux (IPA pronunciation:) is a Unix-like computer operating system family that uses the Linux kernel. A Linux system which includes system utilities and libraries from the GNU Project is sometimes referred to as GNU/Linux.
Most development from 1984 to 1991 was done by the GNU project. After 1991, the Linux kernel developers began working on it as well as other enthusiasts. From the late-90s onward Linux also gained the support of corporations such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Novell, Inc.
Linux is a prominent example of free software and of open source development. Its underlying source code is available for anyone to use, modify, and redistribute freely, and in some instances the entire operating system consists of free/open source software.

Knoppix; http://knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html
Ubuntu; http://www.ubuntu.com/
Suse (Only you may have to buy this one); http://www.novell.com/products/desktop/eval.html
Many others. Most versions of Linux are built off the same Kernel. One may Tweak Linux to load easier stuff like that. So, a FREE Ubuntu is as good as a $10-50 Suse.
Most in your case can run Live, but, may be slow as to Installing to a HDD. But, many come with Open Office, CD Burners etc., etc. To download Ubuntu it is almost 700 MB (698 I think). It will Burn to one CD cheap so you not need a more expensive DVD to burn to.
IF, you decide to use Ubuntu you can email me and I try to explain how to Download "IF" you get confused, it easy, but you may want to use the "Infra Burner" (Spelling?) they suggest.
Also, DO NOT use Bit-Torrent. If, you have a Fast Connection just go direct. I downloaded it in about 20-30 minutes. Later I used Bit-Torrent and it took like 2 Hours. There not enough people in the "Swarm" for it to be faster than direct.

Ubuntu has an ISO that is bootable and loads into memory. Same with Linspire, where you run linux directly off of the CD.

Ubuntu, Knoppix, have had both running on a P III 933, similar to yours. No problems at all. IBM PC of some sort.

Ubuntu is likely considered one of the least confusing to apply, to boot as between the main supported distributions. in case you go with greater of a easy variation, Xubuntu is particularly solid (based off of the XFCE window supervisor). that's basically ubuntu with a pc atmosphere which makes use of much less components than the default one.
