unless you ARE going to run a server or some old software WHY install rhel 5 a an Alienware
hi- proformance gaming box ?
now i am about to bot cent 5.5 on a new dell xps 8100 .But i am also running some MUST HAVE code that is built for RHEL ( ISIS3 and "stereo pipline " from NASA and USGS )
also RHEL 5 is NOT FREE !
you need to pay for it .
for a Alienware Gaming pc i would put OpenSUSE on it
even though opensuse is a bit bloated the machine specs will be more than enough to run it

no not realy
rhel released 5 and ALL major versions of software were locked. and might NOT even install on hardware designed in the last 6 months
RHEL is for a STABLE server that dose NOT NEED TO BE REBOOTED for 5 years ,not a gaming pc .
