The RH ISOs, which I now have a source for thanks to Andrew. The first distro I tried was Suse 8.2, which seemed to install pretty nicely*, but I couldn't make the RH rpms from Compaq work on. (I didn't really investigate the compatibility issues that much before charging into it) I'm guessing I'll like Suse better overall but unfortunately Compaq ties my hands. I already had to give up on running FreeBSD because Compaq doesn't provide their stupid driver for that OS at all. *(did the ftp install, which is free, but takes forever since it downloads from Suse's overloaded or throttled server in Germany, but I just let it run overnight) -- Philip J.
