Red Hat

Would anyone out there tell me if there is anyway of installing Red Hat 7.3 on a old Compaq Presario 7478.
I have 3 computers and 2 of them are compaqs. Please, help me put this one into some good use.
Thanks.

Of course, you have to know that Linux is meant for all sorts of computers.

Took a look at your hardware. Everything looks like it should work with.

Did some googling and found out that Compaq Presario 7478s are AMD K6-2 533MHz 3DNow!/64MB RAM/30GB UltraDMA drive so it should work

Good luck
