I would recommend downloading and installing 7.2 (running a 2.4 kernel) (lastest version available from www.redhat.com). The kernel and modules are typically stored in /usr/src/linux, which should help in your work. Redhat is quite versatile and functional, and makes a decent desktop OS. Debian is another flavor I would recommend as by default its more secure than redhat. I haven't done much with linux for awhile though, so I'm unfamiliar with what its like these days. Good luck!
