I like the suggestion that Peter Peltonen made:

- If your computer is fast enough to run RHL 9, all is well.
- If the system is a little sluggish, use a non-bloated WM (XFCE, Fvwm, ...).
  These have lighter loads than Gnome/KDE and are as featureful.
- If your system is very sluggish, run the X session on a remote (and fast)
  computer. Obviously, this is only worthwile if you have several low-end
  systems that you want to run Linux on but it's worthwile and there's a
  ton of documentation on how to do so (the ThinClient, Diskless* series and
  Remote* series of HOWTOs).
