There is no such thing as "Linux 9.0" or at least anyone naming a
product that would be incredibly stupid.

Also, go check what hardware is in a Compaq Prolinea 6500, and then ask
if that hardware is supported.  Or better yet, do a google search on
linux and that model and see what experience other people have had with
it.  Compaq's have been notorious for requiring explicit memory maps
passed on the kernel boot command line for all the memory to be
detected.  It seems they just haven't ever managed to make a bios that
worked by the standards.
