> Might see how viable 256K of ram is and install XP instead.

depending on what its to be used for,you might get away with installing a 
user friendly (well, friendly fora linux flavour) linux distrobutuon like 
mandriva or something. you can pretty much guarantee there will be 
free-to-download hardware specific or compatible generic drivers for all the 
hardware on the laptop. also depends  on the purpous though. if its for 
internet, email, and word, then something like mandriva will do all that 
easily. if its to run games and stuff, that xp option sounds a lot better...
