Windows XP will install on a Pentium 3 with 256MB of ram.
So that is not a fair comparison with a 2015 modern linux distro with a Desktop Enviornment.
Probably why it does not freeze up.
If this box you are dealing with is a 512MB ram box or even 1 gig.
If me.
I'd roll with a Window Manager distro like this or this.
Either or should be easy to use for a new linux user without using a Desktop Enviornment and using a Window manager instead.
