If you had a dell dimension XPS T500 with pentium III, 500Mhz, and 256K ram, now running dual boot red hat 7.1 and windows 98, and you had a choice between new linux installations of CDs of enterprise linux ws version 3, the fedora, or a free download, and you still wanted a dual boot with windows 98, which would you choose if cost wasn't a factor? I think there is plenty of hard drive space, as there are two hard drives inside.
I have heard the machine might run slow with a newer windows OS, and I was afraid that enterprise might have the same type of problem. Consider me pretty much a newbie, which is probably obvious from running 7.1 still.

Wipe win98 and install WS. It will be a little slower, but there are things you can do to compensate. (Btw, I'm running RHPW on a PIII 700 w/ 256.)

Thanks for replying Oldskool, I suppose then that RH enterprise would be the way to go given the choices, that is if you run it on a PIII/256 and you like it. (I think the RHWS you mention is a version of Enterprise Linux, right?)
I have heard of anything newer than windows98 bogging down a PIII, but maybe that would happen for someone who doesn't know the things to compensate. If you could mention what some of these things are or where to find them it would be nice. Thanks again!.

Yep, I'm running Red Hat Professional Workstation, the $90-$100 boxed distro based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation, and I'm quite pleased. To speed things up, hand pick packages, shut down uneeded services, go for a lighter window manager, etc.

As for committing your entire hard drive to Red Hat, that's just the GNU/Linux zealot in me.
