Debian, Debian and Debian. In addition, to get it to run on a low spec machine you need to ensure 
the SDRAM is interlocked with the DDR and CPU in a PAT configuration. You will also get a serious 
performance boost by reconfiguring the poofle valve in the BIOS via ACPI and APIC. Make sure the 
EISA bus bridges between the ISA, PCI and VLB and you will be set for full compatibility. Anything 
else is just a boondoggle.
