RH9 (at least out of the box) would not install on these machines. Will RH
Enterprise or Fedora?

The content of /proc/cpuinfo (the machine is running RH8) is:

        processor : 0
        vendor_id : CentaurHauls
        cpu family : 6
        model : 7
        model name : VIA Samuel 2
        stepping : 3
        cpu MHz : 797.979
        cache size : 64 KB
        fdiv_bug : no
        hlt_bug : no
        f00f_bug : no
        coma_bug : no
        fpu : yes
        fpu_exception : yes
        cpuid level : 1
        wp : yes
        flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr pge mmx 3dnow
        bogomips : 1592.52

Thanks...
