Hi:
That PC could be a good candidate to install Debian GNU/Hurd. But, if the PC is a desktop, you need a PS/2 mouse and keyboard.
Added to this, even in laptop, you must to install from CD or DVD, and connect the PC via cable.
I recommend to use this CD image. I usually install it from "pseudographical installer"
The SATA support doesn't works fine from the installer, so I recommend to configure the harddisk in "compatibility" mode, to emulate a IDE device.
Try it and report us the results
Thanks for the interest
