I just booted Knoppix 3.6 on this.
mdz will be interested to know it's got the firmware for my network card.
There is a (clumsy but it works) config tool that managed to configure

I inted to install everything that comes to hand on this machine. It's

I think I have SuSE 9.0, Mandrake 10 Community, Fedora Core 2.
