Go for Lubuntu 14.04 - It is the lightest one with the support until 2019. Although it doesn't come with the software you mentioned you may install Open Office, flash and Chrome after the system installation.

Xubuntu may be the option, but needs 1gb RAM to run apps smoothly.

  • Hard to say. Look through these links to see if you are doing everything correctly:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DiskSpace#Absolute_Requirements http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1753447&highlight=root+file+system+defined If it doesn't help try asking a new question, I suspect it already was asked but anyway you'll be guided to the right way by someone hopefully. – Muzaffar Mar 10 '15 at 14:01
