Dell CS 400XT & Linux

I ran my trusty little Dell CS 400XT successfully on the following Linuxes

Red Hat 8

Red Hat 9

Fedora Core 3 - continuously updated via yum

Now Fedora Core 4 - continuously updated via yum

Each time I installed all packages that that the red hat and now fedora installer offered. Primarily use the box as a file server (via sshd), web server (apache 2.x), and occasionaly to surf the web via firefox.
Here are the hardware specifications of the laptop:

Hard Drive now 40 GB Hitachi (use to be 9 and then 12 GB)

Processor - Pentium II 400 MHz

Memory - 384 MB - Initially ran w/ 256 MB on both Red Hats and Fedora Core 3, but recently upgupgraded to 384 MB because this is the most the laptop will support. I bought the memory from memory giant, for some reason crucial.com only thought this laptop could support 256 MB of RAM. There is only 1 DIMM that can be accessed for upgrades, the motherboard had 128 MB built right onto it (w/o a DIMM).

Network Interface - Xricom PC Card 10 Mbps + 56 Kbps Modem
