My advice is to get something else, for example Xubuntu 12.04 LTS, that is receiving security updates for all the packages until April 2015. Lubuntu will not get it for the Lubuntu specific packages (those not included in any of the LTS versions). So there is an increased security risk, probably very small, but increased. - If your son is not connected to the internet, no worries. - If your son is very careful with the internet, probably OK - But if he is curious and might open pages and files, that might carry an infection or trigger an infection, the defence might not be completely up to date in Lubuntu 12.04 after October. Nobody knows (it does not help much to be a developer, maybe helps more to be a security expert) and in the end it is your own decision if you can live with that slightly(?) increased risk. -o- I have a Lubuntu Raring instance to run with at least the later Pentium M cpus. I will try to describe it and upload somewhere within the near future. Right now it is on a USB 3 pendrive, installed from the Lubuntu Raring desktop iso in a modern computer and tested in my IBM Thinkpad T42 with Pentium M 1,7 GHz. I'm not sure if a Celeron M banias 1200 mhz can run well with it. You would need to check, that cat /proc/cpuinfo reports 36 bit physical address size But we are not there yet.
