I remember HP Vectra computers being used my workplace. Compaq laptops too, though I can not recall the models. A friend had a HP Kayak workstation which he used for graphic related work. A really fast machine it was, and expensive too. RH5 was being used quite often. Along with Slackware but I do not remember the release number. It was by that time I tried Debian for the first time, which I really liked because of how small its minimal install was.

As far as Linux distros go, "early 2000s" was pretty much dominated by Red Hat/Mandrake.

I had a Compaq, an HP and a Toshiba Satellite from those times. Debian and Slackware were quite popular, I actually liked Gentoo a bit too; FVWM was a very good WM back then.
