	Hardware seems fine. Disk space could be a little tight, but enough
to get by. It's hard to tell how X will like the video card without knowing
the precise model/chipset. This is often rather difficult to find out with no-name
clones. Physically looking at the board is often the best way.

I don't think so, but it's impossible to say for sure.

Yes. Dozens. It works absolutely fine. There is a minor prob that on
installation Win95 tends to nuke LILO (the linux loader), this is pretty
easy fix though - no data on the linux partition is damaged.
