Welcome lindalinex4me,
Yes, it's a good feeling seeing an old machine come back to life and perform better than ever! I've installed Linux on a number of older systems from the 2001-05 time frame and all of them perform better than they did with Windows on them. The one I now have relegated to the kitchen is from 2004 but still runs great with Linux. Was my main system until a 2-3 years ago when I built a couple of new computers.
To get familiar with Linux Lite, I'd suggest you browse through the Help Manual. Even if you don't need to do any of the things referenced there, it will get you familiar with the system and some basic Linux terminology (which can be very baffling at first). After that, you might want to have a look at some of the links on this page whenever you have some spare time: Linux Basics: Useful Beginner Information.
