RedHat 9 is no longer supported and is quite old (circa 2003). Most likely you will have a good deal of trouble and spend a lot of time trying to run this flavor on the system, or finding "drivers" to run the wireless and bluetooth.

You would have much better luck running a newer distro like Fedora 8 SuSE 10.2 or Ubuntu.

This laptop has many configurations, can you post your system specs.?
