RedHat 8.0 Thumbs Up

[Peter Amisano]

   what type of system is everyone running redhat x on?  I have an amd
   500 w/384m ram and 80gig hd.  The command line, obviously runs great,
   however, the gui is quite slow.  I am fairly new to linux, about 2
   years experience, but I would think an amd 500 with over 256m memory
   should run a little smoother.

   any hints, tips, tricks or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

   Thx,

   Pete

   I have one complaint (today). It seems like Red Hat has changed a lot
   of
   "normal" Linux command line terms to their own propriety lingo.
   Example:
   yesterday I swapped an English keyboard for a Spanish one. You'd think
   the command to type at prompt to get Linux to know what keyboard it
   has
   hooked up would be kdbconfig. Nope. It's something like
   red-hat-keyboard, I think. Up pops a nice GUI for Joe Average. But...
   they really hosed me b/c I was RTFM and it did NOT work. I had to
   RTFRHM.
   Just that. I do really like my Red Hat, overall. And, I am Joe
   Average:
   10+ year WinDoze user making the migration.
