I have been running Calibre on Linux for quite a few years.
*If* you want to try, I suggest you use Mint Linux Xfce edition.
Computer that runs XP needs a lightweight Linux distribution, yet, you do not want to use anything exotic.
If you can borrow a hard disk to try it, why not give it a try?
You can also boot into Linux Mint Xfce from an installation media and have a look what it looks like, whether it is compatible with your hardware. Remove DVD or an USB stick and reboot the machine and you are back to XP.
