For the hell of it the other day I tried (and successfully installed) Red Hat Linux 9.0 on my IBM ThinkPad 755CX. While I couldn't install XFree86 4 (4 does not support the old Western Digital video chipset my notebook uses) I suppose I could probably install XFree86 3.3.6 later. At any rate it installed fine. My system is a PII 350MHz (320MB RAM) running RH 9 quite smoothly, but I'm only using it for a small home network. I'm involved in a project that installs Linux on machines starting with the following base specs: 486DX33, 16MB RAM, 420MB HD The project uses Debian, but I have Installed Red Hat 6.2 (using the Duke University mirror, I find it is an excellent mirror, but that depends on where you are in the world). My router ran Red Hat 7.1 - I suspect you'll be fine with 7.3, perhaps even 8 or 9 (If it works on my P75 notebook it should run on your 233MHz machine) Cheers, Charles -- ---=====----------------------------------------------- Charles McColm,charm -at- porchlight.ca Web Site - http://members.porchlight.ca/charm/ ------------------------------------------------------- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
