I would recommend Lubuntu over Xubuntu for lightweight, simply because beside being near identical in size, Lubuntu plays well with Kubuntu and Ubuntu installed on the same system. While this may not seem important for slower systems it is a great way to migrate between slower and faster systems while maintaining a unified look and not loosing any of the extra functionality of Gnome and KDE.

Other things to list? If your computer is a bit old, Ubuntu exists in a more lightweight version called Xubuntu.

To be precise, it uses a lighter window manager, called Xfce, instead of Gnome for the standard ubuntu.

... To take account of the trackback in french, these various window
managers (gnome, xfce, kde ...) are not specific to ubuntu and you might
use them on any other linux systems.
