I have and use an aging T60 laptop with your exact specs. I use and recommend Ubuntu 13.04 using Unity. If you have corrupted attributes on you harddrive, I suggest you replace it. It is quite easy to do in a T60.

I’m running ubuntu 13.04 (which is the latest version) on the following : CPU : Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz RAM : 1GB

I know it's very slow but it works fine if you are using for internet or movie and entertainment
