I had very good luck with BeaFanatix on the under-powered Tecra 550CDT, so that's the first thing I tried on the Armada. Everything went well -- it boots up very quickly from the CD and of course even faster after it's installed -- but I did have Firefox crash a couple of times while on YouTube.
I tried Xubuntu 6.10, and while the Live CD booted fine, the machine wouldn't boot into X11 after installation.
I tried Xubuntu 7.04, but that locked up at 15% during installation.
I tried Ubuntu 7.04, but that wouldn't detect the network card.
Needless to say, BFX is looking pretty good again.
