A Pentium 3 is getting pretty long in the tooth, but I'm not sure what
the minimum standards for various Linux builds are. My scanning machine
is an Athlong 64 X2 4200+ and it is too old for Win 8.1 - lacks some
instruction set that is now required. It is still a pretty decent
machine, though.

I ran across one called AV Linux that is aimed at multimedia production.
I don't know how well suited it would be for still photography.

I mean, still photography is a component of "multimedia" isn't it?
I was looking for something I could do with the old computers my mom no
longer needs & was searching for audio recording tools. AV Linux looked
real interesting.
But, I don't think that old Pentium 3 system is powerful enough to run
it,
even if I maxed out the memory. It's just too old, too obsolete. I have
the feeling that it is fated for the scrap heap sooner, rather than
later.
Apparently, even Linux has minimum hardware requirements.
I have more hope for the other system.
