I've been curious about Linux but reality is not having the time to try and work through it. That's compounded by a concentration issue I'd have to try it on a good night or rather several good nights. I have an older Compaq I will likely try it on at some point if nothing else just to try out the off line programs. I will also still be able to keep XP in that one for the just in case I have some files W/8 can't open and I need to convert them to another format type of problem. But right now I need to keep the learning new tricks to a minimal and 8.1 is enough challenge for a while.

I would try Lubuntu for old PCs. Try the live CD and see if it works. It should detect Windows and configure a dual boot if you do not choose to use the entire disk. There is a risk for sure.
