Not worth it. Pentium M 1.2 GHZ? 40GB HDD?! Unacceptable. Get a netbook and it will have better specs lol.

Uhm, those specs are mindblowingly awful. There are handhelds(Windows based) that have comparable specs... (not cheap 600$+)

THey are quite bad, but by the look of his sig and avatar, he is probably in the military so he might need something to withstand war conditions. the toughbooks are the laptops made for war conditions. a toughbook with new specs would cost an extreme amount of money

The only OS that will run alright, that I know of won't be Windows, not even a distro like Debian would be fast. Something like Puppy Linux would run good, but I hate it, Damn Small Linux runs good, but you need to be fairly confident with the terminal... So all I could recommend is xubuntu 8.04 (lts), it uses the xfce manager so it's a bit more lightweight... and uses older packages so it's faster than than something like 9.10. I ran xubuntu 8.04 on a dell inspiron which basically has those same specs, and it's not fast, but faster than any of those under distrobutions, and it still gets seucirty updates. So don't go putting something like windows nt 4.0 workstation , which would run fast, but be insecure.

Mint and xubuntu 9.04 would work fine on a laptop of those specs. ive tried on a laptop with essentially the same. His processor is actually faster than it appears, about as powerful as a 2.0ghz pentium 4 mobile.

xubuntu 9.04 ran like crap on my inspiron 8100, though it had: p3 @ 1.1ghz, 256 megs of ram, geforce2, 40gig hd. Linux Mint probably will run like crap too, maybe not as bad.

9.04 did better than 7.10 on my toshiba 6100, mint ran the fastest of the 3. i never tried 8.04 because i didnt have a disk handy.

Then I say he go for Mint, but I would get Linux mint LTS 5, probably faster for his hardware, he doesn't really need the updated kernel. Though I could be wrong.

elyssa probably would be better for the toughbook, but i dont think he is going to buy it anyway since it has no gps or bluetooth.

It could run XP no problem, but not much else, lol. A simplified/smaller/unbloated distro of XP would run great though. Or maybe you could even upgrade RAM.

Hell I ran XP on PII 450MHz with 256MB RAM and was satisfied. But yeah,I played Prince of Persia on it. The original.

Get that skeleton!

And Fallout 2.
