James and ash:

I've run just about every M$ OS on a 760ED (I did not do the install of 
XP, but I do know that it 'ran'.)  I've also run OS/2 3.0 and 4.0 on it. 
  We also installed, in multi-boot, RH 7.3 and RH8 on it.  It was a 
tight fit, but it booted and ran RH better than M$ 2000.  Unfortunately, 
I don't know what happened to the 760ED as it went to a starving college 
student.
I do have a 600E that I've run just about everything on, and that was 
the first system I ran RH on.  I since moved up and onto an A22p.  I've 
been looking at a new system, but this one works and will do for now.
