Thanking You in Advance

You should probably run CentOS without a GUI, or with XFCE instead of Gnome.

"Red Hat Linux" is, by name, slightly different than RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux.) Prior to 2004 or so, "Red Hat" was one operating system (Red Hat 7.3, Red Hat 9, etc.) Then it splitted into a corporate-supported enterprise version RHEL (see also the community clone CentOS) and a community version, Fedora Core. Most people outside of the business world use Fedora Core because it is more bleeding edge. RHEL (and therefore CentOS) are stable/mature touchup versions of the work done in the Fedora community.

CentOS 5.4 is the latest stable release. Do not try to install Fedora on your system, you don't have enough RAM. In fact, you should probably just get some more RAM anyway.

have you even read the red hat web site

red hat is NOT free to get the updates you need to buy it .
also look into CentOS

Hi

If you are running RHEL as opposed to Red Hat I suggest that you invest in some additional RAM, 256 MB is prohibitively low and will result in low system performance.

I concur with the suggestion that you take a look at Centos.

However, you should first take a good look at the hardware that you have available, in particular any legacy devices (especially SCSI controllers, etc). The support for these devices (together with your CPU, HDD, and RAM capacities) will determine which versions of Red Hat you will be able to use.

Please carefully consider your actual project requirements (not stated in your question) before you decide which Distro to use. There is no point in overkill if you do not require it)

For system requirements for the various releases start at www.redhat.com

Hope that assists.

All the current releases of RHEL/Centos/Fedora have the same basic minimum ram requirements.

But the experience with less than 512Mb of ram will be slow, so increasing the ram will help dramatically. Ram is very cheap right now, so for most systems this should not be an issue.

I agree that for most users Centos is the way to go. Fedora is essentially the development branch of RHEL. It has all the latest and greatest features, which means that it breaks a lot and has updates almost daily. Any one release of Fedora is only supported for thirteen months, after that it is officially suggested that you do a clean install. On the other hand RHEL/Centos5 (which has been out for a couple of years already) will have support until at least 2014.
