Yup, Ubuntu, not Linspire.  Got a gPC from Wal-Mart.  Meets my
expectations.  Here's a hardware listing using lshw:

Works great for its intended use: browsing the web over DSL and playing DVDs.

Naturally, I cloned the drive: gOS works fine on my other old
machines.  I also repartitioned the drive to make it dual boot: runs
standard Ubuntu 7.10 just fine.  It's not blazingly fast performance,
but it's decent.

Other tweaks:
 - apt-get works
 - installed apache2
 - installed openssh-server

What would be cool would be to install an RDP server on it so that
Windows users can connect to it with their Remote Desktop Connection
client.
