Hi, Gunther!

[...] Yes the guess for 32 bit version question is right. [...]

Based on the data you provided, I found this:
CPU is surely an Intel Pentium M (inxi report).
It appears that for the model AMILO-Pro-V2060 the CPU is Intel Pentium M Processor 750

Better run the following and repost the report here (same procedure):

Code:
sudo inxi -c 0 -ACdGMNSz

My system does not allow me to enter an accented "S", hence I don't find / ping you .... sorry. [...]

It's OK. For entering special characters like "Ș" you need a different keyboard layout. I have two layouts installed (RO & EN-US).
Same here, for umlaut u. Spelling "G"  umlaut u "nther" is at least weird...

But please forgive me my lag of expertise, I am still learning
and I would want to repurpose this LT e.g. have both OS's Win-XP and LL 3.8 installed side by side with dual-boot option.

"Lack of expertise" you say?
Well, I doubt there is anyone here that claims being an expert.
At least I have a hard time thinking myself as being an "expert". That's too much to say.
Except for Jerry, I doubt there are many people here having that kind of knowledge + practice to entitle them using this "expert" word.
I like the idea that we are here, like-minded, friendly people. That sounds more comforting to me.

Repurposing...
While I understand the idea, it's very difficult for me to figure out how to get software for this architecture.
The software you named (Win XP, Linux Lite 3.8 ) is "out of service", so to speak. In other words, they reached the "end of support" (end of life) point.
If something breaks, it will be awfully difficult to maintain those, without data losses.
Even finding software, generally speaking, is very difficult since developers moved towards 64 bit architecture.
As far as I know, there are a few choices still available as if today:

Maybe for some time, you can use your computer with one of those.

Best regards, Șerban.
