That box should run Linux AFAIK, at least I don't see any reason it
wouldn't.

It's hard to tell you what to do about "did not install". Could you be
more specific? How far do you get? What happens to stop the install
procedure? Any error messages?

Do a media check to be sure your disk is OK, and report what happens
when you try to install. The more precise you are the more likely
someone here can help.

I'd go with the 64-bit system, unless a Flash player is important to you.
