I have got the Prolint to work with RH9. Clean install.
Now all I have to do is get the internet to recognise it
Any help to get this started is greatly appreciated

Thanks

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.
