Tim, if you've managed to successfully install 64-bit Ubuntu MATE 16.04 on this system, you should be able to install and run any version of LO - why not take the latest, 6.0.1 (or 6.0.2 to which LO just updated itself via the PPA om my Linux box) ? The only thing I'd recommend beyond this would be installing a bit more RAM. Even if you've made clear that you don't wish to buy any hardware for it, you should be able to obtain some used DDR-2 sticks, which the motherboard is almost certain to support, for next to nothing, which would make a great deal of difference in how you experience the computer (the system requirements for 64-bit LO 6.0.1 are listed as 256 MB RAM, with 512 MB recommended)....
