I wouldn't recommend RedHat 7.x as they have discontinued that line and will
no longer support it as of Jan 1st 2004. You may want to look at a
distribution such as Debian or Mandrake. If this is just a desktop machine, I
would recommend knoppix.org (based on Debian) which has more updated desktop
features.
Enjoy and good luck!
