Thats cool. I have the hp compaq nx7000 which is the 15.4" widescreen running Red Hat 9 also. Its a Pentium M 1.6ghz, 512mb ddr ram, 64mb ddr video memory.
I'm running a Toshiba A10 (Celeron 2.2GHz/512MB DDR/40GB HD) with RedHat 9. I've also run Slackware 9.0 on it, but I prefer Redhat for personal use and Slackware for my server.
As a server, it's amazing. Fast, 100% stable, extremely simple configuration, tons of included software.. it's even acceptable as a desktop OS, but I definately prefer Redhat or Mandrake for that.
