You don't have to spend $50 on RedHat, you can download it for free from
sunsite.unc.edu or ftp.redhat.com (they have a large list of mirrors if
their site is too slow for you). Also if you want to run E your going to
need alot of ram/swap space, I would suggest about 50mb swap and 64mb of
ram...if you want it to run nice and smooth. Good Luck!
