    Bunsenlab Linux…

    Though don’t expect miracles, that cpu is too slow for the modern internet. It’s not usable for web browsing on any OS.

      slow internet could make for a fun opportunity to play around with a text-based browser from the terminal like Lynx, w3m, and browsh.

      I think it should be okay. I have a pentium M machine that did alright with web browsing on Bunsenlabs. Had 2 gb of ram. I used an original eeepc and an MSI u230 wind with the same cpu. The atom and pentium M are about the same

        When? Currently 240p youtube will produce frame drops on these. Typical javascript laden web pages can take minutes to render. I guess it largely depends on the websites you plan to visit. Phoronix will work ok.
