Decided to try Xubuntu given that it's geared toward older machines. I'm trying 6.10.
Install when smoothly, but, as feared, screen resolution sucks and the network card is not being recognized.
For the screen resolution, I tried the trick I used when installing Ubuntu on this machine a while back: I added these 2 lines to the Monitor
section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-140
After rebooting, I had more screen resolution options to choose from but all below 800x600. I'm shooting for 1024x768, which is the max supported by this display, and what I was able to achieve with Ubuntu 5.x.
