I got this machine for free a while ago (along with my HP Pavilion N3290), but only recently have had the time to clean it up and get it working (which, other than the floppy drive, it works perfectly). I actually forgot this had a CD drive (somehow) and was stumped about how to get an OS onto it, as the floppy drive is either dead or dirty, but thankfully I remembered it actually did have a CD drive and I was able to boot the Windows NT installation disc just fine.

It has a 333MHz Pentium 2, ATI Rage LT graphics, 64MB of RAM, and a 4GB hard disk. I actually transferred a lot of stuff over serial initially (with the help of my ThinkPad X40 while setting it up because I forgot FTP existed (somehow), but now I'm able to transfer stuff to it over FTP, which makes things a lot easier.

For the OS, I originally installed NT 4 on this machine, but I have since put Slackware Linux 8.1 on it, and that has worked well for me ever since.
