once you install the HDD inside of the closure it becomes a USB portable HDD .. so it should work with any linux distro provided the kernel version supports this .. use any latest distro.

Although the machine isn't functional, I have a P2 machine with 32MB RAM and working 2GB HDD lying around. Bought it back when I was in class 2.
