I'm working on getting your mom's old netbook up and running again. It's currently using Chromium OS version 26, which works but isn't smooth, and some features like the trackpad aren't functioning properly. You're looking for something faster and more secure for kids. The specs you provided are: Intel Atom N455 @ 1.66GHz, Intel GMA 3150, 1GB DDR3 RAM, 1066x600 display, 250GB SSD, 5400RPM HDD.

Windows XP Essentials might be it, but I’m not sure it’s completely safe for kids.

Select a Linux distribution; opt for a lightweight option for better performance. Mint is a popular choice, though preferences vary widely.

Arch could work, but you might want to consider Windows 8.1 Pro 32-bit instead.

Crunchbang works well with a netbook due to its compact design. Consider if that’s manageable for the child. Note: Puppy Linux is another solid option.

Conheço uma distribuição Linux projetada para ser segura para crianças, mas acredito que a informação está em português.
