Looks like it should run on Linux.

I only looked quickly.

I would try the newer Lucid.
Precise might be OK.
Old or new Dpup.
Old or newer Slacko.

If this computer has UEFI bios you may have to do some setting changes.

This guy got his to work by doing this:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81653
n the ‘Advanced’ section of the BIOS there is a menu called ‘SATA configuration’ selecting this and then from the sub-menu select ‘SATA mode selection’ which has three options; IDE (the default), AHCI and disabled.

Changing the ‘SATA mode selection’ from IDE to AHCI solved the problem and I now have access as normal
Others say this helps:
In bios look for an option to turn off or Disable secure-boot.

Search for UEFI here may help:

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
