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.

512MB of Ram

Arch does technically „„run”” on it™

Otherwise regarding the CPU, I would set up a gentoo with distcc on it, since you dont be daily driving the thing anyways
