From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Celeron M with 2GB ram? That's actually not low at all :p
I bet it runs NetBSD or Tinycore flawlessly
It ain't high enough to do playback on VLC tho :p but can do some nice fun with it
maybe try mplayer/xine/mpv?
With no real GPU you’re gonna be limited to like DVD playback at best.
I'll keep these in mind, hope debian still got 32 bit version of these packages.
