Found a very ancient (2011) Samsung Netbook shoved in a drawer. It's inevitably getting Minted
Had an Asus variant of one of those. Single core as most of them, but mine was dual threaded, which helped a lot. And I think I could bump it up to at least a couple of gigs of memory.
Had to find a specific version of Mint since it was 32bit. But it worked surprisingly well considering the specs!
