Well guys, RedHat is crap! Try Debian if you want performance, but it is a
hard way for a Windows User to install Debian. Try SuSE if you want an easy
to install System that really works fine and with nearly all Hardware!
Of course there are lot's of other Distributions out there to try!!

If you want the heaviest performance you'll try to recompile every Software
Package on the target System ;-).

Oh, by the way, if you choose a Linux Distribution, keep in mind, that newer
Distributions are better for newer Hardware, that's because some unneeded
drivers for old hardware has been erased.

For a good starting point search out the distributions websites, they often
have a lot of info's and links about Linux!

MfG,
Do.Pe.
