Thanks For the Assistance
I have software that specifically runs on Red Hat here at work. I thank everyone for the advice given. I was trying to load Debian but it seemed a little more trouble then it was worth at the moment. I don't have the PC directly connected to the internet and the Debian Potato CD's where giving me a little trouble. I am new again at this since I tried Debian and Red Hat a year or 2 ago.

Also, watch out, the file structure on Debian has a few differences from Red Hat. And Red Hat uses xinetd where as Debian uses the more traditional inetd.

Installing Windows2K and Red Hat
Hello Debian User's, I know I am using Red Hat and Not Debian, but does somebody know how I can get Windows2000 on the same PC as Red Hat. I currently have Red Hat installed, but when I boot from the Windows2000 CD it bypasses the install and goes straight to Red Hat. I know this is a basic question, I am just stomped.
