Of course don't forget if you are keen on running Libre or Open Office you still might struggle a bit with the latest versions of these on low spec machines. For example see http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/system-requirements/

The Cooking distribution has Audacity. I have installed SliTaz on an old laptop with only 128Mb RAM and it was fine. The GUI is impressive for its size and the package handling intuitive. SliTaz is under active development.
