   I would like to learn to use Linux.   
      
   I have an old PC which I could use.  It is:   
      
   HP Pavilion Slimline   
   Model ID	= s3240.uk   
   Motherboard	= ASUS M2N61-AR (HP OEM)   
   CPU		= AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 4400+ at 2.3 GHz   
   RAM	 	= 1GB   
   Disk		= 1TB SSHD (previously used)   
   Network		= nVidia nForce Networking Controller   
      
      
   says that the CPU is 64-bit.   
      
   The CD-ROM is the only bootable device for removable media.   
      
   My immediate interest is using a web browser, and a modern email client.   
      
   Can anybody suggest a suitable Linux version for me to install?   
      
   TIA
