It might. It CAN'T run i586 or i686 rpms though. I would advice older software, like RH6.2 (it is painful, but does at least have the kde and

desktop). Most kernel 2.6.x based distros only build the kernel for
i586+ and
that most kernel <2.6 build for i386+. Besides, old software is for old hardware and is better for low RAM and low HD space. My old i486 still
runs
Win95! The 'power of linux' that was written for this old thing is
kernel
~1.x-2.0!
That said, it will run ALL FC3 RPMs. It will NOT run KDE, Gnome or - probably - any desktop BUT it could probably be use as a linux firewall and/or router. ________________________________________________________________________ Total Quality Management - A Commitment to Excellence http://www.TQMcube.com
