Not advice, but if you could keep a record of what you do, what things
are confusing and generally how it compares to modern RISC OS, that
would be very interesting and useful for other people, I'm sure!

For distros, Xubuntu is supposed to be reasonable on old hardware,
while still being a modern distro, though I haven't tried it myself.
