I have an old Thinkpad, pentium M processor 1.4ghz, 512mb ram, windows Xp., 24.6 gd harddrive, would kali linux be able to run on something this old??? Any help is appreciated. This computer is just laying around collecting dust and I just want to make something useful with it. If it won't run kali what distro would you recommend?

Try. Find out.
Would recommend using XFCE over GNOME with limited resources like that (or something even lighter still).
