Two suggestions to go with Lubuntu, one of which from an LTS user, so that is edging towards being my preference at the moment... From the lubuntu downloads pages:
12.04 Precise Pangolin will be supported until October 2013. The Lubuntu team does not offer a Long term support release (LTS) at this time.
Support ends this month...
Xubuntu 12.04 is LTS so edging that way now.... (I'm starting to see what they mean about too much choice!)
I use Lubuntu but it's is not as polished as Ubuntu. Ubuntu is too different from Windows. Perhaps Xubuntu is a better option, as it's more polished than Lubuntu.
In another post, you asked how to check if Debian works - the answer is a live CD/DVD or USB install. E.g. http://www.debian.org/CD/live Most distros have a live CD/DVD or USB install.
HTH.
