Possible new server

Alana has an old generic PC that she's letting me erase and install Linux onto. It is a 200 MHz Pentium I which had Windows 95 on it, but didn't even boot. I just tried to get Slackware Linux running on it. It installs, but doesn't seem to start up correctly. Also it has very old BIOS on it, which might make it impossible for Linux to boot unless I hazard an upgrade. These sorts of things are mostly alien to me, from a lifetime of avoiding fiddling with PCs. Heck, it might not even be Y2K compatible. But if it works, it will be a good enough server.
