RH5.2 will work all right. Just don't expect alot of up to date features. And newer hardware not be supported well, if at all.

If it was me, depending on my hardware, I would get a newer version of my favorite distro. They are cheap (even free for the downloading, if you have a fast connection). I think it will give you a much better and happier expirence in the long run. If you are new to Linux I would recommend RH7.2, Mandrake 8.0, or SuSe 7.2 (I think SuSe is at 7.2). Personally I use Mandy8.0 right now. I like it because not only is it easy and fast to setup, but it also comes with about 1000 apps to make your 'puter useful immediatly after the install.
