We have upgraded our hardware. I am endeavouring to recycle all of our
old workstations (500 Mhz Celerons with 64mb RAM) in order to offer
them to colleagues at no cost. Those remaining (and there should be a
few) are due to be given to a local state infants school. I wish to
install Linux and other open-source software on these machines, and
ideally to remove the existing W98 installation and accompanying files.
I have downloaded Linux 9 from Fedora but my attempts to get it running
have so far been a spectacular failure. Any constructive advice,
preferably based on previous experience, would be much appreciated.

Hello, as someone already told you I think that 64 mb are few for using FC1.
Haven't tried Fedora on a configuration like that, i tried only RH 9 on a PII 350 Mhz - 64 Mb machine and the poor pc looked at me with eyes full of pain. Fedora's quite fine and quite good to use for your purpose but i think that it's better to send them 1 pc with 128 Mb RAM than 2 pc with 64 Mb. How about the hard disks on the machines?
The next question they've already made is: do you boot from cd-rom or floppy disks?
