My friend has an old Windows M.E. Dell, and I was wondering if I can start it up with a Linux live cd, because it’s so slow.

Will Linux completely disregard NTFS file permissions?
I have quite a number of files on my hard drive from old Windows installations that I can’t seem to access. Some I can’t even delete and this is a major annoyance. If I boot into a Linux live CD will it ignore the NTFS permissions and let me do what I want with these files?

what is the best Linux distro for an old crap computer?
I have an old Windows ME machine that I want to put Linux on. It’s got 128mb of RAM and a P3 processor @ about 1 Ghz.
I DO NOT want a live CD Linux, I have plenty of those that work.
I have tried and failed at getting these distros to install: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mint, and TurboLinux.
Is there a good non-live CD distro that has very small system requirements?
