Update:

I think I got it (almost). Apparently the video card (Nvidia Geforce 2 MX) is supported, yet it doesn't work right (it shows a picture with highly distorted colors). However, the machine seems otherwise operational, or at least it did until I decided to mess with xorg.conf. Now it doesn't want to go to graphical mode. It's usable from the command line, but I want X.org to run so it'll be graphical.

Anyway, aside from the video issues, it would seem that I've ironed out all the major hardware bugs (CPU, RAM, etc.), so now I just have to learn my way around the software.

733 MHz is kind of slow, however, so I'll probably upgrade later on. But at least it's working (mostly)!

Thank you!
