If you've got more Linux experience under your belt, a Debian or Lubuntu minimal install is a good option if you want less hassle, or Arch if you want more hands-on control.

Puppy Linux is your next stop if you don't have a lot of Linux experience. Lubuntu is probably your best bet as a starting point.

At this point, Arch Linux won't be too terribly different in terms of the final product-the installation for Arch is much more involved, and you don't really get the option to download pre-assembled software packages like for Debian and Ubuntu, but you'll still get a very sleek, minimal system that you configure yourself (for better and for worse).

If doing Ubuntu, you can select the "Lubuntu minimal install" when asked for what software packages to install, and you'll get a system that has less on it and runs noticeably faster than regular Lubuntu, although you have to do a lot more manual configuration.

I think Debian integrates this into its regular installer, but Ubuntu has its own, separate mini iso file to use. If you've got a bit of Linux experience already, you can try a minimal install of Debian or Ubuntu, which will install just the base system and a manual selection of other packages. Puppy Linux is a super lightweight, pretty user-friendly distro. I'd be surprised if Lubuntu or Debian don't work well, but if it does, you always have some more extreme options. Debian tends to be a slimmer install than most of its derivative distributions, since it's geared at more tech-savvy people like IT professionals and sysadmins, and comes with a bit less pre-installed. Just make sure you install LXDE or XFCE when asked what desktop environment you want-LXDE is the most lightweight (and what comes pre-loaded on Lubuntu), XFCE is heavier (but still a fairly lightweight desktop environment) but has more in the way of features and customizeability. Like Potter mentions there's also Debian-which is what Ubuntu and in term Mint are based on-but this might be a little rougher of an experience if you don't have much or any Linux experience. Aside from that, it's the exact same OS as Ubuntu-same repos, etc. It's a version of Ubuntu that's just had the default applications list slimmed down and fleshed out with lightweight alternatives, e.g., Abiword for document editing instead of the more heavyweight (but feature-full) LibreOffice Writer. Lubuntu is a good all-around choice for an old machine if Mint doesn't perform up to snuff. I'm thinking about replacing the power adaptor and possibly the battery, though funds are tight at the moment, so just need confirmation on the best route to take.Linux Mint is a good starting point in general, but might not run super well on a Pentium 4 unless you have one of the higher-clock chips with hyperthreading, since I think all Pentium 4s are single-core (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

I went to the BIOS settings to the Battery Calibration part, it stated that the Battery needs Calibrating, I tried to do this, but it said the Ac adaptor was unplugged, which it wasn't. When the laptop is off with the AC adaptor in, the orange charge light comes on, flickers, then dies. If you unplug the Ac adaptor the noise goes and the flashing stops.

Now, if you plug the AC adaptor in, all the screen does is flash bright and then dim accompanied by a loud buzzing noise coming from the laptop. This would happen maybe twice a night, so I dismissed it. A few seconds later it'd go back to normal. The old girl has got a bit jittery of late with the power supply, the screen would flash to the dim state like the Ac had been unplugged, even though it was still in. Hi, new to the Forum and hoping you can help with my poorly old N610.
