Bill, <br>
I have that model number (dual 7400/450 MHz) running YDL 2.3 (I'm still
using 2.3 on this box due to gcc issues on legacy projects), and it works
fine. I've updated my kernel, use the freshrpms.net yum repository
for updates, and have GNOME 2.4 (via GARNOME) running (mostly) fine.
<br>
Because of the old gcc (gcc-2.96-113), there's alot of things that won't
compile properly, though. Also, I don't think that the
freshrpms.net 2.3 repository is being updated. <br>
