So I am looking for recommendations on which Linux to install on it, as<br>
the newer versions of the major distributions all require at least 1 GB<br>
to enable the GUI.<br>

It would be useful if the Linux GUI can give the power management<br>
status, as it turns out the reason the Laptop was free is that there is<br>
a loose connection on the power jack, so unless the cord is positioned<br>
correctly, it is not being charged.<br>
