if you put it up to 2gb, you could put Lion on it but not Mountain Lion. Then you can just use it as an extra. I have a mid-2007 one myself but it has a problem with not always wanting to start; I may break down and get the logic board replaced because I have a friend who really needs a computer. I know before Mountain Lion came out people were looking for computers that would run Snow Leopard but Mountain Lion probably alleviated that somewhat. I read an article though that warned of the dangers of running old OSes once there aren't any more security updates. I hate letting go of old computers; I always try to find something to do with them. I have two old Thinkpad T23s and a Thinkpad t61 sitting here running linux and yes, you could run linux on your mini. It always seems sort of wrong to me to get rid of a machine that is still working so I either keep using them or I try to find homes for them with people who understand that they are already very used and there are no guarantees.
