I have this old Dell Latitude D630 laptop and I was wondering what OS I should put on it. Its designed for windows XP but I was thinking of putting a version of Linux on it that has a GUI, any suggestions?

Well, I would suggest linux, just to mess about on it, learn how to use it/make things on it.

Really depends what you're looking to do. I'm no expert, others might be able to help more, but this is a link I found for linux distros and what each some of the thousands can do.

We run Debian on our servers, so personally I would go with a spinoff from that like Ubuntu or Mint.

Linux is the solution for crappy laptops.
I use it too sometimes (Quad-boot)
