Two things:

1. I'd recommend first trying Knoppix since it runs off the CD and doesn't do
anything to your hard drive. It's a "risk free" way of seeing what is
supported and what isn't

2. http://web.cs.mun.ca/~michael/compaq-710.html (Some guy who installed a
slightly older version of Linux on his Compaq Presario 710)
