I have an older IBM Thinkpad 560 - specifically a 2640-50A. This machine has a 100mhz pentium, 8meg ram, and DSTN display. I'm wondering if people have installed any of the Linux distributions on a similar machine with success? I do not have any Linux boxes at work, and thought it would be neat to get it up and running on this Thinkpad so I can show it to fellow IT/MIS people in other offices. More specifically I'm considering picking up the Redhat distro w/ manual. I guess the major concern would be support for the 560's sound and graphics chipset? I would have to install Redhat using a parallel port cdrom drive .. Thanks for the help ..
