What would be a suitable, easy to use and well supported free Linux
distro for a W2K/Linux dual boot system, preferably with a live cd, so
that I can have a look first?

On a 600 you can run just about any distro you want. If you find the
regular desktops (Gnome or KDE) a little sluggish you might want to try
XFCE, Enlightenment or one of the other 'lighter' alternatives.

Really, what you have is not very constraining. You might try Ubuntu - it
should load and run fine - the install CD is also a Live CD.
