Does your old Netbook have only 256MB of RAM and 500Mhz processor?

Because if so, that's enough to run 4 simultaneous instances of Linux!

How well will that work with the modern web and modern web browsers?

Great! On paper it could handle Apache and NGINX like a charm, your modern web browsers would have no trouble accessing it.

What does that have to do with running a modern web
browser
on a device with 256MB RAM and a single core 500Mhz processor?

Nothing. Linux isn't a web browser.
It will still work just fine with your modern web browsers though, as a server.

So now I’m going to put an open source operating system on my first gen 256MB RAM iPad to run a web server and that’s the same functionality I had in 2010 when I was using it to browse the then modern web?
