This is a huge opportunity. All of us Linux geeks now need to be on mainstream social media platforms and actively seek out and help everyone who expresses an interest in switching from Windows to Linux.

Let me save you the trip. I have an old trash spec hp all in one that's had the bag beat out of it, what is the best lightweight Linux distro to make this a usable web browsing and PDF file viewer? (To be used in my garage to look at FSM, wiring diagrams, play music, Google crap etc nothing demanding). I've tried mint and it works ok but thinking lighter weight ?

Damn Small Linux is very lightweight and comes with browser and PDF viewer preloaded. It doesn't have a GUI software installer though, so you will have to use the terminal if you need to install stuff.
