Salix OS is stale thats because its based on Slackware . Slackware 15 just came out I don't know if they are going to update Salix OS or not. Slackware 15 I believe has a 32 bit version; but i agree with other posts best try it live from a USB
 
What happened to the first one with the Athlon CPU,? it had far better specification than a P3 even with the lightest builds of 32 bit Linux you will find it dreadfully slow

If we are talking about the Hewlett-Packard Motherboard Manufacturer; 0830h Product Name Motherboard; ; AMD Athlon,
I will reiterate what I have already said, It should be a 64 bit system and as such will run ANY of the lighter builds of 64 bit Linux [ to add. It is backwards compatible with 32 bit distributions, but that would be a waste of resources] no you cannot fit a P3 cpu into it as they have different pin configurations
 
Maybe give Linux Lite a spin on that HP.


Runs great on my 6 year old Sony 64-bit machine.
 
the AMD K5,

The K5 era was much earlier, as far as I know. 1996ish was when it was introduced. The K6-2 350 was later and a pretty sweet CPU for its day.

oh yes, from a maintainace point of view, I always found them more reliable than the equivalent pentium

I overclocked mine. It ran stable, albeit a bit warm, at a bit under 450 MHz.
