It will run Linux, but not Redhat because of the hard drive, it's too
small. Depending on what he wants to use it for (would make an ok firewall
for a modem connection or low traffic webserver) perhaps one of the small
Linux distributions would work. Maybe hook it up to a weather station
setup and have it record weather information and spit graphs...but
I digress...:)
Check freshmeat at

for mini distributions.

With a larger hard drive it could, but it would be painfully slow.

NFS or FTP install would work there, need a network working though...
