I have some old parts and I wanted to put them together to make a Linux machine for software development, but I don't know much about Linux hardware compatibility. Here's what I have:
2GHZ P4 Northwood
Intel Socket 478 Mobo
768mb PC2100 RAM
ATI Radeon 9600
300W Power Supply
Lite-On CD-RW drive
I don't have a hard drive. How large of a hard drive will I need for a Linux machine if I'm just using it to program on? Will everything I have work fine with Linux? Any suggestions on what distribution I should get?
