I'm trying to install a lightweight distro on my sister's old desktop. It has a Celeron 3.06Ghz processor, a 80GB HD but only 432 MiB RAM.
With these specs I thought antiX-09.2.1_386-base was my best option but it is mind bogglingly slow even before firefox is launched and she would also like me to install Thunderbird...
I know there have been similar questions in the past and I'm willing to try all suggestions in the answers. However when I run lshw -class cpu it says something about a cpu 0 (which is the Celeron) but also gives me -cpu 1 : DISABLED
As per request the full output of lshw -class cpu is:
lshw -class cpu

Does this mean there is a second cpu (core) that can be activated? Can anyone shed some light on this as both the internet and this website's search function seem to come back empty handed.
Stay safe and thanks in advance.
