I've found that sometimes throwing the CMOS jumper for a minite or two doesn't completely clear the chip... you might try setting the jumper and leaving it for a while. Your one long beep sounds like it could be a memory or video problem too... have you pulled all the cards and reseated them?

As you don't want to be doing a lot of compiling, I'd reccomend Debian. If you've got a high speed connection and a NIC in the lappy, the net install is easy.

I can't wait to go home an wii.
