There seem to be many reviews on Red Hat 9.0, but all seem to be written by Linux junkies who really know their stuff. What about the MS Windows Convert? They say people like the first thing they use (i.e. if you learn to drive a manual transmission, you prefer it over automatic). If this is true, how does Red Hat 9.0 introduce a novice pc user to the world of computers? I hope to answer some of those questions in this tiny review.

I've tried to install various Linux distros and FreeBSD and all of them crash during the initial kernel boot. I think it could be my chipset. I have a Super Socket 7 with Aladdin 5 (1543) chipset. I poked around the 'Net and there are a few postings regarding this issue, but I cannot seem to get these distros to even boot.
However, all versions of Windows from 95 to XP work perfectly.
Does anyone out there have any experience with this issue?
My motherboard is a BCM VP1543 socket 7 with an AMD K6-2 350 w/128 MB of RAM. ATI Rage Pro AGP video and a Vortex 1 sound card.
Thanks
