I put 4.2 with the X-User distribution on an older armada with a 2.1 gig 
drive and 64 megs ram, it worked beautifully, even found the (supposedly) 
winmodem that mandrake linux 7.2 couldn't find.  connected to the network 
using a dlink wireless network card loading the linux utilities with the 
linux compatibility option. Go for it.
