Hmmm, didn't know that.  I've already been a little suspicous of Red Hat.

DOS fdisk recongnizes three partition types:

1)  DOS
2)  Extended DOS (but without showing you the partitions within the extended
partition)
3)  Non-DOS

That should be all you need, unless you want to install one of those
heritical GNU/Linux systems.

My boss recently bought two of those things.  We're a rather poor small
buissness, but I beged my boss not to buy a system off the shelf at Best
Buy.  He did it anyway.  He also bought two ethernet cards for them, and a
SCSI card for our Zip drive (we have a better [250 MB] Zip drive on our
GNU/Linux file server, but I'm the only one who knows GNU/Linux).  They were
both EISA cards.  The HP Pavilion only has PCI slots.  Figures.
