Best Linux?

I have an old Packard Bel Platinum 2001 V2 with intel pentium 2 running windows 98.other specs i'm not too sure about but could find out later.
as a project i was trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 don't care if windows is wiped for new system but can't get the CD to boot ,keeps giving me error message missing files but no clue as to what files missing?
tried Ubuntu 8.04 and this started to boot up but then stopped and gave half a screen of error messages which i have no idea what they mean.
can't run the system direct from cd either as not enough memory should I just give up and bin the bastard as a waste of time?
seems a shame as apart from being old the desktop works ok
