That "32 bit Dell laptop" is a Latitude D620 with 4GB of RAM of which 
~3.4GB is usable. It also has AntiX-19.1 installed (32 bit Full version), 
and is currently the host OS for the *non*-systemd version 9.0 of Linux 
>From Scratch [2].

IIRC, David G instead had several questions relating to a startup 
partnership he is initiating.
Jim S is entirely welcome to correct this if I'm badly mistaken, but David 
G's conceived product is apparently (from what I could glean from him and 
Jim) a JSON[3]<--->databases app primarily designed for various MS 
Windows-related (e.g., MS Excel) API's.
As such, the app doesn't seem to extensively involve Free/Open Source 
Software at the current time.

During his brief discussion with David G, Jim did bring up 
Representational State Transfer (REST) [4][5], which was a new and 
interesting concept for me :-)
