[PDXLUG] Santa came early!

[Richard Steffens]

A friend of mine has closed an office, and I am now the proud owner of 
three old computers: two Micron desktops, a 333 MHz Pentium II, and a 
400 MHz Pentium II, and a Micron laptop(?). The "laptop" probably went 
by a different designation due to its weight, but will suffice for my 
purposes. It's a 166 MHz Pentium MMX with 64 Mb of Ram. It dates to 
somewhere in the mid to late 90's. Came with an ethernet card plugged 
in, so it can join my home network.

The native software is Win95, and I have a driver CD, but it doesn't 
have anything on it related to Linux.

A Linux-Google search of "Micron TransPort XPE" turned up 10 pages, the 
most recent being from 2000. The Linux on Laptops page is more 
promising: the Micron XPE link is to a guy running RH 8 on his machine.

So, I'm just getting started, and hope to get Linux running on this 
machine. It's been a couple of years since I installed Linux on 
anything, the last successful one being RH 8 on my Thinkpad. At the risk 
of starting a distro war, any recommendations for which one to try on it?
