The important thing is amount of RAM and VGA card. BIOS may limit your hard drive size, too. As to Linux Distro, I'd forget Red Hat 6, since it's pretty old. Try LuBuntu on the P2, Xubuntu on the P3, with enough RAM, etc. Kubuntu, etc. should work. Puppy will be a good choice, and soon it will have the choice to run as user, too.

I was given two old (Pentium 2 and 3) machines as well as A copy of Red Hat 6.
What hardware specs recommendations ( ram, hard drives etc.) to run this distro? Or would I be better off trying to run a low impact
distro such as Ubuntu variations ( kubuntu, xubuntu etc.)\Puppy,
dsl, mint, etc
Thank you
