I should have said that it's a PS2 keyboard, as for kernel version on Ubuntu (dapper+edgy) they are 2.15 and 2.17 and also 2.17 for Knoppix. As for the configuration - the system is a mish-mash of components, 1GHz Duron, ~418 MB RAM, think the motherboard is some Via based - but don't take my word for it. If it's important to know I don't mind ripping the computer apart to have a look. Both the basic X-less server installs of Ubuntu worked and also with X, functioning as a desktop system. Knoppix just does its thang without any intervention. Hope that helps some...?
