I have a dual P500 E60 with 256 MB RAM, and an HP NetRAID controller with
mirrored disks happily running Linux. It has had RH 7.1 running and just
last night I upgraded it to RH 7.3. No problems at all and I installed just
about everything.

In the playing around I've done with Linux on older equipment, I've found
that the most like trouble area is the video card (assuming you are going to
use x-windows). The E60 does not have an on-board video controller, so just
make sure you have a "reasonably" good/new video card and you should have no
difficulty.
