gm, My associate has installed redhat on celeron with no problems. Bench marking has shown very little difference between P2 and Cel. Also 333 P2 and celeron bench mark the same a 200 mhz PPro. The only area of concern from hardware compatibility is in the video card area. If you use the Xfree86 that comes with redhat there is a small possibility that a newer card is not supported. I don't review this hardware often as I love my 8(meg) matrox millenium cards. Bought several at aution for 39. I also use AcceleratedX, but you may not want to spend the 99. But AcceleratedX has more drivers it seems than Xfree86. If buying a complete system, check and determine what video card come with it. If video is built into motherboard, make sure you can disable it and install different video card. Also if vedeo on the motherboard determine the chip set used. Xfree86 drivers are kinda by chip set. You have no worry about ide interfaces. Most scsi is also supported. Networking is also of little concern. Many 10 dollar cards are supported. Again Video is the not very but most the likely area of concern.
