I have installed Linux (RH and Mandrake) on 2 of these machines,
and overall things worked quite well.  The only problem I had was 
getting the network card to work on one of them..... I eventually 
gave up and spent the $15 on a new NIC.

On a side note.. most of those use a removable HD caddy which
did not work well on the machines I installed.  The connector isn't
well made, and seemed to loose contact.  I ended up removing
them and mounting the drive in the 3 1/2 slot.
