There's nothing about this computer that particularly limits what distro you can put on it. Ones that are more graphics-intensive, like those that use KDE or GNOME, may be slightly sluggish, but still usable.Those that use Xfce, Enlightenment, or JWM should be quite adequate. Examples would include Xubuntu, dreamlinux, gOS, ELive, or Puppy Linux.
