Will he be able? Yes.
Will it be slow? Oh yeah.

Expect heavy swapping when visiting websites with a modern browser (chrome, firefox, ...).

Hello members,

My colleague is living in Taguig area. He inherited a computer from the office. It is a Pentium core duo (I think) but it's only got 512mb of RAM. 

I've got the Debian Wheezy DVD (thanks to Zak Elap). Will it run?
