linux on old hardware?

[ken_gosier at yahoo.com (Ken Gosier)]

Question: Is there some faq out there, saying, if you have
old hardware, and want to get linux going on it, here's how
to do it? I have rh6.0 and 7.1 shrink-wrapped, but I'm
guessing they might not agree so well with old machines.

The reason I ask: I wandered around the MIT flea today, and
there were a ton of old P90's, P133's, etc., for around
$20-$50. I though it might be fun to get one or two or
five, and set them up with seti at home clients. What can I
say, I thought the recent /. post on the Stone
SouperComputer was kind of cool. :)

As an aside: Did you see the guy selling piles of blank
floppies, N for $1, and they were all re-formatted AOL
disks? :)
