Classroom OS dilemma

Last semester was the most frustrating semesters i had.. No its not the students.. its the computers that we are using. The computers are AMD athlon and only got 256 MB of RAM, we installed Windows XP of them few semesters ago and we weren't able to contain the worms and viruses, and last semester things really got out of hand. Even if we format our pc and installed an updated the anti virus software, it wont take a week before this newly formatted pc to be infected again.

So starting tomorrow I'm going to try a handful of Linuxes, I want to try an old version of Ubuntu, Fedora, or maybe Mandrake. What ever works perfectly and smoothly on a pc that has only 256MB RAM would automaticall be considered as a primary software.

Geez I hope someone is reading this, and maybe could suggest other Linux distros I could use.
