Worth trying using a 15 years old notebook for self hosting? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I found an old notebook PC lying around and I'm wondering if it could be enough to run a few services like the arr suite, qbittorrent and pi-hole.

Here's a few specs: Cpu : Intel Celeron 1011 1.6ghz Ram : 1Gig Ethernet port

If you think it's not a total waste of time, what distro would you install?

Edit: I did manage to install Puppy Linux onto it, but I was severely limited by the CPU which is 32bits. I'm trying another old laptop next! Thanks everyone!

What kind of limitation did you run into? Lack of packages or speed?

[–] Leax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Old distro and lack of packages

Total waste of time. Get the newest Pi or equivalent
