don't be put off.
I find my 770E to be FAR mor stable running linux than any version of windows 
(2000 included).

The most telling bit for me is the fact that I can suspend and resume the 
machine about 100 times before having to reboot (for some reason like wanting 
to watch a DVD or having to install more memory or something.)

Forge ahead! - we're here to help you out if you run into trouble.

I'd suggest debian over redhat though - its easier to maintain (even if it is 
a little tougher to start with).

good luck!
