Regular Red Hat on a RaQ 4 is difficult at best.  It can be done (I 
don't know how, but there are links in the archives, etc), but you 
lose LCD functionality, etc. And you have to take the HD out and load 
the OS on another machine, etc.  Also, you'd have to upgrade the ROM 
to handle the 2.4 kernel for Red Hat 8.

In short, it's possible, but for all the work involved, probably not 
worth it. Just buy a general purpose 'white box' from someone else 
that was meant for 'regular' operating systems and save yourself a 
LOT of pain... :)
