I found this info after re-reading your post.This is a fairly old document(he's running Redhat 6.2) and the problems he cites may not exist now,but I thought it would be fair to warn you.

I got Caldera Open Linux (free) downloaded onto 2 cds for the workstation. Loads and runs very smoothly.

Now I'm having trouble with the network but that's another thread.

Many other distributions are here.

Good luck,
