Just gave it a go with SO 5.2 on Debian stable. It failed immediately
because 32-bit and I'm not set up for multiarch. I think the least
painful way to get it running from scratch is to stand up a small VM
with i386 Debian 3 and use the host's X server for display. Not worth
fighting with display drivers for a 25 year old OS.
