In today's open source roundup: Lubuntu could be the best replacement for Windows XP. Plus: A review of Portal 2 for Linux, and an interview with the creator of educational distro Ubermix.
I think Lubuntu is a terrific choice for Windows XP users for all of the reasons pointed out in the article. It's very easy to use, and it doesn't require a huge amount of system resources to run. This is very important since a lot of Windows XP computers are older machines that probably cannot run a more demanding operating system very well or at all.
But as much as I like Lubuntu, it is not the only good spin of Ubuntu for Windows XP users. Xubuntu is another option that might work very well. Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment and is also considered a lighter-weight distribution than regular Ubuntu.
