Distribution is somewhat irrelevant in this question. Though I certainly
would recommend Debian.

ALL of your hardware is perfectly compatible with Linux and also with X.
First make it all work in vt100-like mode (no X just ascii terminal). I like
basic installation (about 25Mb) in Debian 2.0. After that start to setup X.
Your X server is relatively new
