Got the latest Debian testing ISO (with UEFI + legacy boot), maxed out the RAM (3GB) and put in an SSD. Had to go and buy CD-Rs (no USB boot on that model), but after installing grub-efi it even boots up fine without having to drop to grub command line from a boot CD.

Runs Renoise and Visual Studio Code fine, plays 1080p movies and saved it from being sent to landfill. Anything with Gigabit Ethernet is good enough for me! $30 well spent.
More importantly, any old bitcoin wallets on it
