Hi Johnathan, I have found that older hardware is best supported by the more recent versions of RedHat. As Linux goes forward support for more and more devices are added to the system. I have one machine with almost exactly the configuration as yours and it is running RH8.... with XWindows! Admittedly, Xwindows is slow. I mostly use the virtual text consoles because they are much more responsive/less frustrating. If I had to I would remove the default "bluecurve" GUI setup and replace the X-Windows config with one of the lightweight window managers like fwwm. I use my machine as a web server and also do some development on it. You may want to install your system without X-Windows and just use the virtual consoles. It will be more responsive that way. -- Jeff Kinz, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" copyright 2003. Use is restricted.
