That's pretty old... Solid machine though.

No reason I can see why  Mint should have any problems running on that. Of course I am not an Linux expert. Just an interested party especially with MS offerings currently.

Something new I found recently...

Very new but some of the youtube videos show it works pretty well. intended to be a replacement for 2003 OS etc. (might be good for xp replacement later.

 

Anyway nice chatting with you. Best of luck with your hardware/software going forward. (this has gotten quite off topic

I don't believe so at least not for many of the programs. From what I can see with the videos however, not sure of the version used on some of the videos. The thing that interested me was it ran Skyrim (without sound ;))
