On the Dell Customer Support Forums,for Dimension, under "software", I
think the first one is Linux (non Dell installed). I haven't looked
there recently, but you might post something there.
Also, because of the Christmas - New Years holidays, this list has very
little traffic, at this time. You might wait a week or 10 days and if
nobody else responds, repost here.

Dell won't support software they do not install and my belief is they
won't sell a Dimension Linux box at this time, so they won't support RH
Linux or any other distribution, as they did a couple of years ago with
RH. I'm hoping in the future they will permit those of us who do not
want MS Windows to purchase a Linux box, or, one with a very limited OS,
as they permit Enterprise customers to do.
Since I have this issue on our Compaq box, I will post something on the
HP Compaq EVO board about it and possibly someone there will give us the
answer. It's not limited to your Dell Dimension 4500 or our Compaq D300v
EVO. GL with this.
