I attempted to install RedHat 5 in the late 90s, but I had no idea what I was doing since I was like 12 or 13 and we had just gotten our first computer. I never got around to actually using Linux until a few years later with Ubuntu 5.04
You can learn a ton installing your own OS, even if you don’t get things working in the end. Especially back in the 90’s when things weren’t quite as plug-and-play and hardware auto-detection was immature. So even if your RedHat experiment failed, good on you for attempting it anyway!
