For a 4 year old... saves you trying to discover and install suitable
things, where hopefully plenty of people have already given input.

As is Debian-jr.

Just get in to the BIOS, set boot from CD, pop in the CD with the

just use the whole disk, XP vanishes during disk partition and format.

I do recommend though doing a net search on that model laptop and
install of the Linux version you want.
