If I have an older PC laptop, that doesn't have 2g of harddrive space, which older version should I use?

Less than 2GB? I suppose you are talking about internal memory, not HDD. — Ruud Helderman, Nov 02 '14 at 14:13
In another thread the suggestion is Lubuntu... http://askubuntu.com/questions/544622/ubuntu-14-04-running-slow-on-a-64-bit-processor][2] [1]: http://askubuntu.com/questions/544622/ubuntu-14-04-running-slow-on-a-64-bit-processor — graham, Nov 02 '14 at 14:13
Too little information was given here. Please post all laptop specifications. — mbiber, Nov 02 '14 at 17:43

You could try a more lightweight distro if your PC is old.

Go with Xubuntu.

It's an Ubuntu official Distro without Unity but with Xfce Desktop Environment which is more lightweight.

Have a try... :)

Another good lightweight distro for ubuntu users is Bodhi Linux : http://www.bodhilinux.com

With this distro, apt-get uses ubuntu repositories.

Works fine on 1st generation of asus eee-pc.

In this computer, so little space in the hdd (only 2 gigas).

The best distribution is:

Slitaz 5.0
