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.

    Maybe mint

    Most ubuntu-based are 1 GiB minimum and dropped support for x86 though.

      You are right, I had forgotten that, Mint XFCE might be 3gigs on HDD, but it’s quite light on processor and RAM. Anyway my suggestion is invalid for x86 requirement.
