I've run remmina on Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14 (I think). That was 3 or 4 years
ago. Try to make it a machine with more RAM if you can.

thanks for help!

Hi,

Debian will be fine if using a leightweight window manager. I am running 
Debian on my EEEPC 1001, which has a 1,66 GHz CPU, 2GB RAM and a 240GB SSD.

Note: The SSD does not increase speed, but uses lower power consumption and is 
better fit against mechanical disturbance.

Also note, that my SSD is encrypted, which is slowing down the performance I 
won with using a SSD drive. However, it is still fast enough for my daily 
work, it is just starting slow (1-2 minutes until the window manager is up).

I had best performance with LXDE, but also plasma5 is running usable (in 
plasma5 the screen ios sometimes a little bit flickering, when hoovering with 
the mouse).

For VNC and RDP , remmina is also my choice, it is really faster than vncview 
or tightvnc (tried others, too)

The EEEPC is also well usable, when running livesystems from the sd card or 
usb-stick. SD-Card is preferred, because no one can break it accidently. And 
it is a little bit faster.

I have a multiboot-sd card with several livesystems on it (about 20, smaller 
and bigger ones) , just as Trinity-Rescue-Kit, KALI-Linux (32-bit with LXDE), 
Knoppix, Gparted, Falcon4, Kon-Boot, Windows-Rescue, Systemrescue and a lot 
more (all together fit on a 16 GB SD-card).

Hope this helps a little bit.

Have a happy new year and best regards

Hans
