I wound up using feather Linux on it, but with one minor change.

I removed the compact flash to ide adapter and I used a ide 40 pin to 
laptop hard drive adapter and I mounted a 4 gig laptop hard drive in the 
case.
I figured this would be better since I already had these parts rather 
than buying a bigger flash card. I'm sure I will find a use for the CD 
to ide adapter later on. :)

feather runs very fast on this set up. I think this will make a very 
nice MP3 jukebox.

Thanks again
