Technically, anything up to 5.1L should run on a 320H. 2GB of disk is
plenty ;)
With 32MB 5.1 is probably a bit of a stretch, but 4.2.1 or 4.3.3 should run
fine, and it's easier to get modern-ish things to compile than on 3.x.
PM me if you need help finding media.

I may have install media and diagnostic disks for the 320H kicking around.

Since RS6K systems have been mentioned recently, I thought I should ask
for advice. I have a Powerserver 320H with 32MB of RAM, an 8-port async
EIA-232 adapter, a SCSI adapter and a 400MB HD. No framebuffer or
keyboard; no LAN card. Because of the last issue, I haven't tried to do
