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.

    There was recently another user asking the same for a similar machine on the .ml Linux comm.

    As I did there, I can only tell you I successfully ran antix on a similarly old eee-pc from 2007ish, with the same CPU. It did have 1gb of ram though iirc, but the distro ran fairly comfortably (until it came to browsing with many tabs open).
