Bringing a Poweredge sc1420 back to life - with linux, or hope to

$

My company had an old poweredge sc1420 with Windows Server 2003 - nobody can remember the password and I really don't want to run an end-of-life MS product in any event - I wanted to turn the box into a Linux server; mostly for some file sharing, but domain services would be a plus.

From the Dell documentation I've found over the last week of searching indicates that this model will only support Suse ES 9 - and of course I can't find a source of an ISO.

I've got much more experience with Ubuntu, but I'll even do it with Slackware if I have to.

I've pulled the RAID card out, and connected a fresh hard drive directly to the motherboard port.

Any way I can get *some* linux server OS installed?
