GX240 and Fedora Core 4

I recently purchased a GX240 (small form factor) from Dell Auction.  It did not come with an operating system so I was planning to venture into the LINUX world.  I would like to install Red Hat Fedora Core 4 and I am curious to know if anyone out there has done the same thing.
 
If so, please let me know of how the process went.  If you have any tips on an "easier" installation, please send your ideas.
 
Thanks!

I have installed Linux many times on many different systems, never the one you mentioned though.  If you have never installed Linux before, go to Red Hat Fedora Core website and read up on all the supported hardware and make sure you have everything that will run on the system.  Also you may want to vist some other Linux sites to get familiar with it ( www.linux.org, www.redhat.com, etc).  Fedora Core 4 seems like an excellent choice as from what I have read and seen it most user friendly as far as detecting hardware and installing drivers. 
 
If you do run into any problems during install, post your problem here, there are quite a few who have some experience who can help you.  Good Luck!

I've run FC4 on a GX400 without incident since its release. Yum updated last night to latest kernel and packages, no problems. "Easier installation" than what?
