An old xp what. Read the minimum hardware requirements for the flavor that you are trying to install. You'll no doubt need 256M of RAM for an install with many of them.
Some like Arch require a PII or better processor.

Why? Too little RAM, too little HD or what? What error are you getting with what flavor of Linux?
