I have a Toshiba laptop running Window XP (32) about 10 or 12 years old. It is used at a model railroad club and its sole function is to run Java and an open source program called Decoder Pro. It works great for our purposes but is getting dated as it no longer accepts updates. I would like to use Ubuntu. Which version should I use, etc.?

On older machine like this you would be better to use a lighter version of Ubuntu like Lubuntu or Kubuntu, these distributions will require less resources to run. I'm pretty sure your machine is a 32-bit machine so you would need a 32-bit ISO if it's a 64-bit then you would use a 64-bit ISO file to get things rolling

Here's a quick guide if you need help you with your installation How to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
