I put Mandrake 9.2 on a 770Z a long time ago, and everything worked OK.
I recall that the sound worked fine, but wasn't autodetected, and I had 
to run something like sndconfig.

I'd be very surprised if a modern distro has any trouble at all. Maybe 
try a live CD (knoppix/ubuntu etc) for quick testing.

Actually, I even had Mandrake 7.2 on it once, complete with KDE 1.x and 
kernel 2.2 !
