I installed 2.4 on a potato (updated Storm) release, in order to use XFree4.0.1 and a usb mouse on a motherboard with an Intel i810 chip. I started with test 8, and had a few problems with it freezing up occasionaly. I am now at test 10, and have no problems with the OS. Getting X 4.0.1 running was a lot more difficult. I haven't installed Gnome or Kde yet, so I don't know about that. Good luck.
