Red Hat 4.x and 5.x included the 2.0.xx kernel. Red Hat 6.x, 7.0, and 7.1 ship with the 2.2.xx kernel Red Hat 7.2 has the 2.4.x kernel. The kernel version is the least of your concerns though. The Star Office (5.2) download is 97MB, and once installed, takes up 262MB. IIRC, it requires an additional ~100MB of temp space for the install process. In 32MB of RAM, this behemoth doesn't even crawl. We're talking snail's pace. - Steve
