If you haven't tried LL on it yet - besides the fault if it follows - may still run respectfully, probably a 32bit system so look at the LL3.x series. I have 3.8 running on an old dell mini..1Gb ram,,,
I've been a Linux user since 2007. First with Ubuntu and for the last 3+ years Linux Mint. This week I was gifted 2 old desktop systems. One started out as a WinXP box and it was beyond rescue. Max'd out at 1GB memory, 160GB HD and an intermittent fault somewhere.
