what to do with a old ASUS EeePC 1005PX Intel Atom® N450 Netbook

a year ago by hylaea to c/techsupport

What are your thoughts on using the Eee PC 1005PX for basic tasks today? It's from around 2010 and it's still working. Though all the Raspberry Pis have better specs... What OS would you install?

Specs:
Intel Atom® N450 1.66 GHz Processor cores: 1 25.6 cm (10.1") 1024 x 600 pixels 5:3 1 GB DDR2-SDRAM 250 GB Ethernet LAN Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) 8.5 h

I've used that exact model for a battery powered WiFi range extender.
