Why do you believe his computer is too old to "properly" run the current versions of Sigil and Calibre? I know for certain it will run the newest version of Calibre -- I'm using Calibre 2.14 (yesterday's -- 12-26 -- release) on a computer with almost identical specs without issues. Have no idea about Sigil (I don't use it) but if QT5 is the necessary requirement, I know Xubuntu 14.04 has QT5 support in its repository.

I guess I'm trying to figure out where you came to your conclusions about what Gregg's computer is incapable of running Calibre and Sigil.
