Try posting this in the Software/Linux conference. I'm sure you would get a much better response.

HI,

I'm currently dual booting Windows 2K and Red Hat 7.2 on my Dimensions 4100 and my 8100. Dell does not support any of the linux O/S so if you install it, you are on your own.
I just need to work out a few problems with the modem and the network card. I think that all it is, is a configuration problem.

There is a few places that you can download it but I would advise you to buy a copy. It will come with Tech support. If you download it then you will have no support unless you buy a support plan.
Here is a place if you want to download it

If you do decide to download it then you will need to do this,
Disk 1 is about 650 MB and disk 2 is about the same (you will need the two)
I downloaded Disk 1 by dial up and it took about two days.
Disk two took about half a day on DSL.
Then dont just burn it to a CD,(if you do, you will just be burnning useless CD's) You will need to create a CD from a CD image.
Another thing is to get a download manager (Go Zilla) Then you can resume if the server resets.


Hope this helps
