Re: Genral & Hardware Advice
AS your E40 is quite old, I would try 7.3 version, lighter than 9.0, which is the last one (but still better).
I heard that some E series had some difficulties with scsi drive stting on install, but I'm not sure your is concerned.
Just try to install and let us know if something goes wrong ! :]]

Re: Genral & Hardware Advice
I'd run with Red Hat. I've actually found 7.3 to be a really stable release, with good hardware support.
The newer Red Hats suffer from feature bloat, and they arbitrarily get rid of wu-ftpd(a good server) and upgrade to sendmail 8.12 without a decent migration guide for custom configurations.
For that processor speed, I'd go with 7.3, unless you run totally text mode. I don't need X Windows anymore except to run Red Hat Update.
I'll warn you that Red Hat sends out surveys once in a while and if you don't answer they cut off your Red Hat Update privledges. Annoying, but they really do put out solid updates.
