Yes, it has Mint 17 on it.
It did not work with 17 but, as I didn't need wireless (too far to garage 30 metres and I have plumbed in an underground cat 6 cable), I decided not to waste time and effort looking too deeply into it.
Googling the problem came up with several possible solutions and I am sure I could have solved it.
Wireless didn't work too well with the original Vista either.
I use it for reading the electrics diagrams (on CD) of a car - old age means it's difficult to read the paper copy.
