Yes, I have seen that now (not in the printed documentation in the 
shrink-wrapped pack).

Pity the information (minimum system requirements) wasn't on the cover 
of the shrink-wrapped pack, so that we would have known that before 
buying it.

It is unfortunate that RH Linux appears to have lost the principle of 
being able to run on older hardware.

I suppose we'll just have to stick with running RH 6.2 on the server.

Sounds a bit like MS; "If you want to run our OS, then you will have to 
upgrade to the latest hardware!".
