Old Netbook - OS suggestions please
Discussion
My mother has a Dell Inspiron 1210 Netbook. It's a bit old, and she'll be getting a replacement at Christmas.
It's an Atom processor, 80GB HDD, with 1GB RAM - hardly going to set the world alight.
It had XP, but was sluggish. I've tried Ubuntu 14 and Mint 13 and they're both still a bit slow (35 second boot up!).
I don't expect miracles, but a reasonable boot up, ability to use a web browser and ideally Open Office or Libre office to be able to read the odd Word doc.
Suggestions for a linux distro?
TIA
