    I have found that best way to get Linux working easily is
    first to select a generic compatable video card, ide hd, ide cdrom.
    The next step is to get a distribution of Linux that uses a graphic
    automated install program such as REDHAT 6.0 or better. Of course
    there are many similar distributions. Only be sure it supports RPM
    packages and has a GUI install. Using these distributions will
    install Linux for you as long as your video card is detected
    properly and the hard drive is large enough, 1GB gives you lots
    of room. If you use choose to use the KDE desktop Linux will look
    a lot like windows. Remember to let the automated install do
    the work for you.
