Hi Dinesh, I picked up a core2duo with a original intel board. Has one ide port though and a sata port. Problem installing will be that none of the older versions of linux are supported. I got ubuntu currently but I think that any disto kernel version greater than 2.6.16 should wrk I guess you will be going to install fedora6. Try it it should work Fed 5 gave me a prob and I was not about to hack anaconda to make it work.
