You can run just about any distro on it. I have an old -- nothing newer
than 5 years -- system (1 GHz Duron; 512 MB RAM; MSI K7T Pro2-A MB [7
years old]) for testing and backup running multibooting, stock installs
of Fedora Core 5 and 6, PCLinuxOS 2007, and OpenSUSE 10.2. All run just
fine with either KDE or GNOME GUIs.
Since you're a Linux newbie, I suggest you start with PCLinuxOS
(www.pclinuxos.org) or one of the Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com) variants.
They're the easiest to install and setup, although OpenSUSE
(www.opensuse.org) installed and configured itself mostly "hands-off,"
too; however, the optional 3D GUI wouldn't work. Graphics card too old.
