Pentium 3 to Linux

[Aguiluz]

I picked up a Pentium 3 from the trash. It still works. It has a loaded Windows 98, and its name is Compaq Deskpro (Model Unknown).

Using the device manager, I found these specs, note that they are all integrated stuff:

GPU/GFX card: ATI 3D Rage Pro (atir3)
NIC/Ethernet: Compaq NC 3161
SFX: ES1869 Audiodrive
USB: Intel 82371 AB/EB PCI to USB

Printer-Scanner Combo: HP Deskjet F4180 all in one

I have picked Ubuntu Linux, Open Office Linux and Mozilla Firefox Linux. So how do I set these things up? Where can I get the drivers?

Run the Ubuntu live CD 1st and that will tell you what drivers you'll be required to find (most of that should be supported) but if you do require any (and need help installing) then http://ubuntuforums.org/ will be your best source of help and information.

I have chosen the "Dapper Drake" (6.06) Live CD. Downloading is underway...

Phew! What should I do in the next 6 Hours?
