http://suse.lsu.edu/dist/9.1 is bringing up a 404 for me. I would like to note that neither Fedora Core nor Suse would work well on the proposed system configuration as they are Gnome / KDE based distributions.

It can be downloaded for free from http://suse.lsu.edu Redhat's free version is called Fedora which is in version 3. You can download it from fedora.redhat.com. However, I suggest Suse as it seems to be more user-friendly than Fedora.
