Thanks all...

The HDD had a corrupt Win98 OS on it before I started formatting and partitioning for whichever Linux variant was tried.

Puppy was too much for it and it barely budged after about an hour after making a request (not enough memory). Vector Linux -- can't download a decent version (bad checksums).

I may try DSL or trustix. Honestly, my noobness currently requires a GUI, which likely steals from the total power available. On my newer machines, I've used OpenSuse, and a variety of Fedora releases with ease.

One is a backup server for 2 laptops (primary household workstations). So far, old, doorstop PCs have been saved from the recylcler.
