I had similar plans but after installing F9 on it, I was a little 
disappointed for some hours... mainly due to the fact that it did not 
enable my swap space on install... no idea why but I fixed that manually 
and the machine was somewhat usable after that!

I wanted to use it as a frontend to a media application (MythTV) but I 
doubt it's anywhere near capable with it's very limited RAM :(

I'd happily upgrade the RAM but alas that is not possible.

Anyway, pulse didn't run for me either and when I realised the other 
limitations I didn't look too far into it.

Sorry I can't offer more insight, but perhaps someone else can.

I suspect the key problem as being: (_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for 
card, but I don't really know.
