If this machine is similar to the 380XD, sound is provided with the cs4232
kernel driver.  ALSA works too, I think (but have never messed with it
since the kernel driver worked well enough).  PCMCIA support should "just
work" with any recent Linux distribution.

I'd install at least Red Hat 7.x if you're into Red Hat.  Heck, RH9 should
work fine, but you'll probably want a lighter WM/Desktop enviroment than
Gnome or KDE.

On my 380XD I have the Gnome panel running but not Nautilus.
