Plugged In has one of these running Linux quite happily.  However, it took
some fussing around to get rid of a bunch of hardware-related Sig 11
problems.

You will need to see the following:

- Linux Cyrix/IBM 6x86 mini-HOWTO (http://www.tux.org/~balsa/linux/cyrix/p0_no_frames.html)
- The SIG11 problem (http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/)

Have fun,
Dave
