Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Vector was my first suggestion. What about the install didn't take?
Its interesting that you asked this cause I had the exact same question. I'll be getting a hand-me-down 200 mhz computer for christmas and I was wonder what distro i could put on it. I'd probably go with slackware and if you wanted X server go with open box or something, but I wouldn't have any gui if i were you
Slack, only Slack!
Easily customizeble, choose your DE (desktop environment) or work without it at all.
you can also give a shot to Vidalinux. It's i686 optimized. Very fast. Gentoo based
