The machine is 600Mhz, PII or PIII, Intel anyway. I had to install Debian 3.1r3. I wanted to install Ubuntu 6.06 on the machine, but Ubuntu refused to get past the installer screen and crashed a lot, dropping me out of XWindows into a useless user prompt. I tried the Ubuntu Alternate installer CD and that crashed a lot too. I never got Dapper Drake to install on that machine.
I think that you would find that Debian Etch beta 3 is quite an improvement over the user experience of 3.1r3. I would suggest installing this instead. Download the full ISO if you go this route; not the net install.
