Hello,

I have an old computer, and I've upgraded it for many times.

Hardware List:

Cpu: Celerom 733 MHz up to 1100 MHz
Motherboard: GA-6VXE+
Ram: 320 MB
HD: 10 GB + 60 GB
Sound Card: CS4281
Video Card: Geforce 2 MX 400 with 64 MB NIC: Realtek 8139

I use Redhat 9 now. I'd like to know which Redhat Dist. fits in my PC.

Thanks in advance~

You should be able to run CentOS 5 (RHEL 5) or Fedora 7 on that machine.
Your big problem is RAM, 320 isn't very much. However I've run FC6 on a
384M 500MHz PIII and it's usable for basic things like Firefox and
Evolution. If you find the performance of the current distros
unsatisfactory then you could drop back to CentOS 3.x (RHEL 3). RHEL 3
was the last 2.4 based distro so it's more closely related to RH9 then
the current versions which have had another 4 years to put on weight.
RHEL 3 will be supported for several more years so it would be a definite
improvement over RH9 which is unsupported.
