Lubuntu would be fine for a system like that, Trisquel may or may not work correctly, since Trisquel is a fully libre distribution, which means it might lack proprietary firmware that you possibly need for your hardware to work properly. With Lubuntu you have the advantage that there are tons of HowTos and tutorials for Ubuntu (which will also work for Lubuntu) which will help your learning effort in the beginning.

I honestly don't think anyone can give you any more advice at this point.
You need to just try some distros and see what works best for you. TobiSGD gives good advice.

Lubuntu or LXDE on Debian are good options. (personally I prefer Debian but it's all about what works best for you)

WINE is a pita on any system btw. If you absolutely have to use Windows software, it's always better to either run Windows in a virtual machine or use Windows directly. If you insist on using Wine, I've found that using Play-on-Linux as a front-end makes it less painful.

For a machine like that which distribution you use is large irrelevant. Any general purpose distro can be used for the tasks you mentioned. What matters more is that you go for a lightweight desktop environment, like LXDE/LXQt, XFCE or MATE, or one of the many window managers, like Openbox, Fluxbox, Enlightenment, WindowMaker, ... .

Thanks

I used Lubuntu and it was very slow and wont be able to do what i wont on that computer system.
But the Slitaz was magic on that and i used to very well I dont know why but my connection to linuxquestions was very slow so i couldn't make a reply.
Slitaz was a magic but it wasn't able to run wine for my software.

Now I am using a computer with more resources and Lubuntu with wine and full function.

Thanks all friends helped me.

no hard drive only cd and usb
I need to run wine and lamp
I recommend Slax for this system. Its modular design makes it a prefect OS to run from usb and you can install additional packages as modules in usb. If you don't find your favorite module you can request it via Slax site. There is also Porteus with same modular design and more lightweight desktops like xfce and lxqt. I know nothing about module compatibility between these distros.

i still prefer the original os be in cd-rom
For this system I recommend lightweight Debian variants as they are faster and more responsive than Ubuntu spin offs. antix is very nice and gives you the freedom to choose your preferred Debian branch as base during installation. If you don't like it's environment I highly recommend Q4OS. The Trinity DE in this OS is lightweight and highly customizable.
Both of these distros have small ISO files to use as Live CD. However, as NGIB said you can't install additional packages if you run live CD. Hence, I recommend to install them.
