Comment Intel Atom might help a bit. (Score 1) 176
It is all about drivers, and it might help if you are using Intel Atom and not ARM CPUs. Still all the drivers will make problems. It would be easier to use modern programs made for those machines. Maybe it would be more in style to use old computers with those old distros. It is quite easy to find older Debian source code, but I do not know if it so easy to get those old programs to work.
