Can anyone recommend a Dist that would work on it?
CentOS will work, but you might start with minimal (but make sure it includes networking).
Please note that I installed CentOS 6, just a few months ago, on an HP Netbook from '09, and it runs perfectly well.

I did try Centos 6 32-bit because I believe that was what was on it last time. Unfortunately this time it refused to see the install image on the DVD
I did also wonder about repositories and how long they'll be available for it.
