[LINUX_Newbies] Who is familiar with Debian? Will it run OK on my laptop?

 

My wife just got a new laptop for her birthday and I'll get her old Acer laptop with an ADM C-50 processor running at 1 GHz and 8 GB of RAM.

I have been using Puppy (Tahrpup) for a couple years on an very old IBM Thinkpad and really like Puppy, and it runs great on this jalopy. But I imagine that the Acer can handle a more robust distro.  I did one of those online distro chooser surveys, and Debian came out as the best choice for me since I want stability and don't do any tinkering under the hood. Will the latest release of Debian run on this Acer given its configuration?  I don't do any high-end operations like video editing or gaming. Mainly I just need it for documents, spreadsheets, email and surfing.

Thanks for any input.
