It might help if you gave us a bit more information.

Exact make and model number? You should be able to find that on a label
somewhere or with dmidecode.

How much memory? free -h should tell us that.

How large a local hard drive do you have?

I suspect you need a minimum of 1 GiB of RAM to run Bookworm, but the
more the merrier. How much hard drive you need depends on what you want
to put on it.

If you have another machine with more hard drive space, an NFS server
might extend your usable space on the EEE PC.
