LL is aimed at XP to Linux cross over user.
Just out of interest, perhaps LL users would like to list their oldest machines running on LL with version and ram ?
I'll Start it off:
2003 - Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 1 GB Ram - LL2.8
2006 - HP DC7700p ultraslim Desktop Intel 6300 cpu 4GB Ram LL3.8 64bit.
2007 - Fujitsu Siemens V3405 Laptop 2 GB Ram LL3.6 32bit. Now 32bit Debian 9 + nonfree.
2006 - Fujitsu Siemens Si1520 Laptop Intel T720 cpu 3GB Ram LL5.6 64 Bit

My laptop is from end 2014 or early 2015. Can't exactly remember which period i bought it since i was on the hunt for a good system a long time. But it's at least 1-1/2 years old.
My laptop:
MSI GE70-2PE*Quad core Intel Core i7-4710HQ*Kingston 16 GB RAM*Intel 4th Gen. Integr. GPU/NVidia GeForce GTX860M*Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2200/Intel Wireless 3160

early 2004 model, Medion laptop, Pentium 4, 1GB ram, LL2.8 on 80GB HD
2009 eeePC 901, 1GB ram, LL2.8 on 32GB SDHC
2010 eeePC 701SD, 1GB ram, LL2.8 on 8GB SSD
LL2.8 runs remarkably well on all three machines
1) Lenovo T520 i5 LL3.8 8GB ram, fast & stable
2) Medion P4 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, quite fast & stable
3) eeePC 901 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, fast & stable
4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.

My oldest currently running system is probably the MINI in my sig (around '09) 1gb non-upgrade able ram...
Came with XP and ran great, tried Win7 became a dog and used less and less found LL and back to using more.
- Still has Win7 but has been booted to in a year.. Maybe with LL 3.0 I'll see about SSD and/or remove windoze altogether.
LL revived the Mini, able to continue using a HP1000 Laserjet printer (no drivers win7 64bit -only 32)
The 160 is the "kids" machine - Triple boots Win7, Linux Mint and LL (LL is the fav)
Newest is the Kangaroo at a few months old, its about the size of cell phone dual boots with Win10; LL currently runs on an SD Card..
And 1 other running Win7 but has a lot VM's from other Win's desktops and Servers to Mint, Mandriva and CentOS..
LL4.8 UEFI 64 bit ASUS E402W - AMD E2 (Quad) 1.5Ghz - 4GB - AMD Mullins Radeon R2
LL5.8 UEFI 64 bit Test UEFI Kangaroo (Mobile Desktop) - Atom X5-Z8500 1.44Ghz - 2GB - Intel HD Graphics
LL4.8 64 bit HP 6005- AMD Phenom II X2 - 8GB - AMD/ATI RS880 (HD4200)
LL3.8 32 bit Dell Inspiron Mini - Atom N270 1.6Ghz - 1GB - Intel Mobile 945GSE Express -- Shelved
BACK LL5.8 64 bit Dell Optiplex 160 (Thin) - Atom 230 1.6Ghz - 4GB-SiS 771/671 PCIE VGA - Print Server
Running Linux Lite since LL2.2

Running Linux Lite 2.8 on this Acer Aspire One AOA150 ZG5 (Series one netbook) it was manufactured in 2008. It has an Intel Atom N270 processor @ 1.6 Ghz, and 1 GB ram and came with Xp installed on the 120 GB HDD. It is my everyday machine.

Interesting question, which I've been mulling since Chrome/Chromium stopped flash support for 32bit Linux.
I'm personally on a Dell Precision T3400 tower, with a 2.4GHz Core2Duo and 4GB RAM. All is very well. I've converted several XP units and a few Vista units, one of which had been upgraded to Win7. My unit is 64bit, but all the others were 32bit.

The oldest system I'm using is a 2009 HP G60 laptop that came with Vista and 3GB RAM. It ran fine with LL1.6 32 bit and runs great with LL2.8 64 bit. I also run LL on a custom built desktop and an HTPC. Both have components dating from 2012 to this year and are modified about once a year.

Tek10 - re your G60. do you find that it runs cooler than when on Vista- ?? The one our family had was for ever over heating on Vista and becoming erratic.
