Initially established back in 1994, Red Hat (Wikipedia) is a commercial Linux vendor known for the RedHat Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora Linux distributions.

RedHat Linux 5.2 was released in 1998, and supported i386 through early Pentium II systems. So it is suitable for comparing our physical system (tilia) and the PCem emulated equivalent.

The IBM PC and compatibles emulator PCem supports a range of PC system, from the original Intel 8088 based IBM PC through to a early 2000s slot 1 based Pentium II system. Including a couple of systems featuring the Intel 430fx chipset, making them equivalent to our reference physical system.

Since we have the PCem installation from the Slackware 3.0 on PCem Pentium 75 refer to that post of details of the installation of PCem and the configuration of the emulated machine.

For this emulation the only differences are the name given to the configuration ("RedHat Linux 5 i430fx Pentium 75") and the file name used for the hard disk image (RedHat52-i430fx-P5.img).
