Linux on IBM Thinkpad 560?



I have an older IBM Thinkpad 560 - specifically a 2640-50A. This
machine has a 100mhz pentium, 8meg ram, and DSTN display. I'm
wondering if people have installed any of the Linux distributions on a
similar machine with success? I do not have any Linux boxes at work,
and thought it would be neat to get it up and running on this Thinkpad
so I can show it to fellow IT/MIS people in other offices. More
specifically I'm considering picking up the Redhat distro w/ manual. I
guess the major concern would be support for the 560's sound and
graphics chipset? I would have to install Redhat using a parallel port
cdrom drive .. 

Thanks for the help ..
