Yea I would agree to upgrade. The latest is Red Hat 8.0. I just installed it and all i did was fdisk just normal delete my old partitions and create new dos ones. Then I just booted it off the cd used the automatic partition and then selected my root password install packages and then a while later ( just loading things didnt have to do anything) i was done. You can download it if you have access to high speed. Its 5 disks though total if you want all the programs
