You would not believe how well it runs. BUT! Of course, you can't (shouldn't) connect to the internet because of security problems. I agree with LinuxNoob above, a netbook is close to 7 years old. For a computer that's worse than dog years. It would seem my choices are clear. (a) Live with the limitations of running LL 3.0 on a netbook. (b) Use Linux Lite 1.0.0, but stay off the internet. © Use a Puppy Linux, with the limitations that come with that. Thanks again for everyone's suggestions. I'll put it back on the shelf & think about it some more. I will say one thing for LL 1.0.0. Once you set it up ,& install from the few working repositories left what you want, it's still a great OS.
Midori has crashed on me many times under Linux Mint 17.2 while I have found the Vivaldi browser much better. This is my favorite right now. Running it right now on Linux Lite 3.0
