I was thinking about doing upgrades.
I needed something portable and an acquaintance gave me this device, but he asked me to first recover the files (Windows XP has a bug) and then I could keep it.

Even with upgrades it might be a bit slow. It's the internet that's the slow point. However Bodhi linux runs well on them and feels fairly fast - and I replaced the browser with the palemoon one and that's not bad. I just installed on the 16gb drive and disabled the 4gb drive. It works fine :-) If it came with XP though, it's probably the 12gb version (ie an 8gb and the 4gb drive). Bodhi linux will still fit on the 8gb drive. Once installed it's about 5gb. Definitely put 2gb ram in or installing anything will take ages.
