Hello,

I have an old computer, it has updated for many times. Now the hardware
list is:
CPU: Celeron2 1 Ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-6VXE+
RAM: 2*256+64=320MB
HD: 10GB+60GB=70GB
GPU: TNT2 Vanta 8MB

Now my system is Redhat Linux 7.3, I'd like to know which Redhat Linux
system fits in my computer most?


I would recommend adding more RAM, but the latest Red Hat, Fedora or
Centos should work well.

If I install Redhat Linux Enterprise AS, how about it?
And my RAM is 2*128+64=320MB, sorry.

I hope you mean CentOS 4 not RHEL. CentOS is a free clone of RHEL, you
don't want to pay for Redhat support on an old system like that. CentOS 4
will run fine on that box. RHEL uses an older kernel which will be helpful
to you because you'll have to use the legacy Nvidia driver with your old
card (assuming you want accelerated 3D). The legacy driver won't install
with a 2.6.19 kernel which is what Fedora Core 6 is now using. The open
source NV driver works with any kernel so if you don't mind the slightly
slower performance of the open source driver you could use Fedora.
