DVD image is not a problem, the DELL has a DVD drive.

I am curious about Xubuntu and Lubuntu, as which would be the better 
supported option.  I will also look at Mint.

I would prefer to install a Linux that is being maintained rather than 
an older Linux with lower memory requirements.

I do not want to use anything that looks like a "METRO" or tablet UI on 
a keyboard/mouse based system.
