HP Pavilion dv6500 Notebook PC
Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 @ 1.5GHz
2GB RAM Hitachi 500GB HDD
Windows Vista

What distro would you recommend?
Can this be done with a USB or will a DVD be necessary?

I want to save it from ewaste because it has a ridiculous number of ports on the sides.

    I took your advice. Mint and XFCE have been good to me thus far, so I went for it.
    Very thankful I didn’t have to burn a DVD for it. I’ve done it before, but Ventoy is so much more convenient.

      Awesome, welcome to the club :) always fun to get new linux users, and also always great to find new uses for old hardware.
