   That's fair enough, but you are going to have problems with both hardware
and security installing a distro that old. The oldest version that still
has some support is RH7.3. I would suggest trying your local LUG, linux
users group or even your library for a more up to date distro. The other
way is to look out for a linux magazine with a distro on it.
