I would put a vote in for trying OpenBSD on that box (what I run). Lots of 
Linux distributions are dropping support for i486 cpus so you have to do 
some research on that.
The last time I tried Freebsd (netboot not image writing) it didn't manage 
to work correctly and I couldn't get it installed.
How were you managing to get USB booting on the 4501 as afaik it doesn't 
have built in ports?
=========================================

Mike,

I'm currently using NanoBSD booting from a CF card with an image which was 
kindly supplied by someone.  I could not get USB booting to work, as I 
thought I had originally written.

Cheers,
David
