Decided to try a few linux distros instead to revive the old girl.

As for actually performing a "native" install to a non-Apple computer, good luck... personally I would use the native disk to create a patched install disc to include all the necessary files and fixes to make it work right away... But thats just me.
It can NOT be done cause P3 processors do not support required SSE2 instructions. They are only SSE capable. So you'll need at least P4/equivalent celeron or AMD, SSE2 capable at least.
