Although this certainly is a cool toy (I'd love to have an XT I could
do something wiht), you shouldn't be able to put Linux on it. For
one thing, it seems to need drivers, and Linux doesn't have them.
Also, the fact that it's an ISA card could reduce performance. Lastly,
the thing may not run at full 32 bits,protected mode.

Yes, but no windows programs except the ones that came with it.
