Dear GowriSankar,
this is the point where you should _give_up_.
Sorry, but it is the truth.
Please see:
1. You will _not_ put more RAM into these machines.
2. You _want_ to have something similiar to Word and Excel.
Sorry for this but the only solution will be: Put an old Windows version
on the machines (e.g. Win 3.11) and try to run old versions of Word and
Excel on them.
The _only_ way to get a Linux based solution with something _similiar_
to Word and Excel would be to change your mind: put ~ 64 MB RAM in the
machines and run StarOffice.
But - to be honest - I still hope you come to the conclusion that giving
them good, solid _TeX_ boxes will be a good choice: by starting with LxY
people could have a comfortable access to the LaTeX world and sooner or
later they would dig deeper into the LaTeX concepts...
Karl-Heinz
