I installed Peppermint 5 with the command option below.
All went well. Fully updated and working with usage figures of 2% CPU and 129MB RAM. Impressive :-)
Although, if there are no security concerns then I think I will stick with Peppermint 3. It just feels that bit snappier, and the usage figures of 2% CPU and 112MB RAM seem to back that up .

Hi
ppeppy, that's really cool. Yeah,
Peppermint Three is good until April 2017. Now you know that your
Pentium M has pae capability. You can easily upgrade to another 32bit LTS (unofficial), when the time comes.
Peppermint is built as a very stable minimal platform. All the necessary tools are provided. This includes the comprehensive and easy to follow instruction manual and of course, this forum. This allows the newest of nOObs to easily create their own unique OS. Hopefully, they have a lot of fun in the process too

. That's not the
Peppermint way and never will be. Freedom of choice is our standard
