It's a new machine for me:  I got it from my cousin, who has cancer and is 
too sick to work on it now.  He asked me to fix it and donate it to 
Dana-Farber: he says there's some sort of memory problem and suggested I 
flash the BIOS, but I put Linux on it to see what would happen.

It's an AMD K6-2 @350MHz, 64MB ram.

Thanks for your help.
