That machine sounds comparable to my Asus. I wouldn't want to do big
compiles or lots of audio processing, but, for everyday work, it's all I
need. The Asus is all vanilla Intel, and Gnome Shell even works.

I am using Trisquel 5.5 on a Gateway LT4004u.
It has:
10.1 inch LED backlit display
1024 x 600 resolutions
0.3 mega pixel webcam and microphone
Intel Atom Cedar Trail 1.6 GHz N2600
Intel GMA 3600 integrated graphics card.
1 GB of DDR3 RAM
250 GB HDD
~$250 (USD)
The internal wireless card is a Broadcom chip, so no FOSS driver support
there. I use a Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter for GNU / Linux from
https://www.thinkpenguin.com .
It is slower at doing big compiles, but it is pretty snappy at most
other times. I use it as my main mobile development machine (I do web
work) so it handles running Node.js + MongoDB just fine.
I also use it to work with Arduinos and my thing-o-matic. Again, after
the initial compile, it is fast enough.
