I'm guessing this computer doesn't have alot of Memory since it runs Windows 98. Ubuntu is not a good choice if you have less then 256 MB of RAM Xubuntu will work good down to 128 MB. If you have less than that I would recommend Puppy Linux.
I recommend Ubuntu.
http://www.ubuntu.com/
For your old computer, download the version 6.06 LTS.

all depends on whether you need a graphic interface or not…
if not, any Linux OS may suit you (if your PC is not TOO old). if yes, the sys req questions arise
you should try the following: FreeBSD (freebsd.org), Debian (debian.org), Ubuntu (ubuntu.org)
for the details, you need to consult an experienced sysadmin who dealt with them before…
go to Ubunto.com or Freespyre.com…Both are good OS'
