JukkaLinux Mint asennettu todella vanhaan 32-bit "kolmoskoneeseen" tietenkin tekisi mieli sanoa että helppoa oli ja meni heittämällä... vaan ei. Tuo 32 bittisyys toi haasteita, koska ei vanhuuden takia enää ole yleisesti tuettu. Löysin LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 6 "Faye" jakelun, joka periaatteessa tukee, mutta UEFI GRUB boot ei tunkkaamatta onnistunut.

Q40s Trinity- If you want WindowsXP nostalgiaBunsen Labs - My personal fav, but also a bit fringe in UIVanilla Debian XFCE - No frills, medium weight, but does the job well
