This is a reasonably powerful notebook that is probably running Windows, 
not MSDOS. Any version of Linux will probably run fairly well on it. It 
doesn't use any strange hardware so things should just work.

I recommend Debian/Testing (Jessie) which has been quite stable in use 
and is more up to date than Debian/Stable (Wheezy). You can also try the 
latest Linux Mint distribution, which is Debian-based and quite popular.
