Running old software on new hardware can be a real pain too.  Especially in the DOS/Windows world.  Which is why we need things like "DosBox" http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/

All evidence points to the 2.6 kernel being better on old hardware than 2.4, and in general support for hardware increases as you have newer software, so I thought I'd try installing Fedora Core 2 (then test3) on the machine.  I've heard good things about the XFCE desktop environment, so I installed that.
