    Installing GCC

    you are going to have to install gcc from a binary package. Since you don't have a C compiler on the computer you can't compile gcc. Use which ever package manager redhat uses now to install the GCC package and you should be fine.

    If you can stand the long compile time Gentoo would work well on it since it's very easy to make a lean install. Slackware would also work, or maybe Damn Small Linux.
