I had a few questions that did not seem worthy of a new thread in my opinion -
0) Is there any practical difference between the USB 2.0 To IDE Adapters out there aside from the price? It sounds like the easiest way to transfer data from the old drives and should be useful in the future as well.
1) My win2k box with the 1.3 Ghz Athlon and 458 MB (edit: has 589 MB now after finding an old PC133 stick that works this morning) of RAM will be turning into a *nix box. What distros and/or what *nix windows managers would work "best" for this machine? It will be running the Geforce 7600 GS from the dead system. Debian or Ubuntu are what come to my mind quickly.
