Hi!
Someone asked me to revive their 20 year old laptop as its no longer working on their installation of windows XP.
This baby has around 512MB of Ram, 1.6 GHZ Intel Atom.
This is my first time doing something with hardware older than myself so I’d love some insight from people around.


I suppose I’m sticking to x32 builds no?
Debian appears to still support x86, and 512 MB memory.
If you can increase the memory, you can consider LMDE, but I suggest sticking to Debian with the extra memory to allow space for a browser and office applications.
Sounds like it, yeah.
