Ah! I see you have got Jan Tore's old computer up and running. What are you running on it?
I have just installed Redhat 7.3. I even get things to work! 
I can ship you the installation disks if you are interested.

I'm using RedHat! Gnome, to be precise. I also have Win.ME, but I prefer gnome. The graphic works better for some reason.
