XUbuntu doesn't even install and does not seem to be too lightweight compared to Ubuntu...
Does anybody have experience which distributions need how much RAM?
Preferably something with XFCE.
Have a nice evening.

XFCE might be a stretch due to processor. You can give old chrunchbang a try (new image has only openbox and XFCE needs to be installed manually). you can also give puppy linux or Slitaz a try. porblem could be support for old processor like yours in kernel. latest ubuntu etc dropped the support (only works with i686 and above) so you can forget about those (you have i586).
