I had succes in a presario 4410 box with zipslack (i added the X stuff later,
by hand). This machine was the one I used in my last job. It the same video
card. I couldn't use the modem, though. :( -- i guess it's an error in the interface
between the chair and the keyboard ;-)

StarOffice and The gimp, I can suggest. See also Siag Office (really simple
and nice) -- in fact I don't use any of these, cause I don't need spreadsheets
and I try to do my Word processing by hand with LaTeX
see you.
