It can still run Linux. I've used it with various flavors including my 
old standby - redhat 7.3 - without problems. It really helps to have a 
gig of ram or more. More ram equals more simultaneous sessions and 
better performance per session.

Overall, the program works well and I use it frequently for software 
development and testing. I have not tried using external hardware other 
than network connections so I have no idea how well this will work for you.
