RedHat 8.0 Thumbs Up

[Greg Kedrovsky]

I'm running Red Hat 8.0 on: 
Pentium III
1.3 ghz processor speed
40 gig hdd (10 relagated to Red Hat, 30 to Win98 - nobody say nuthin!)
500 meg of RAM
Got a whizbanger video card with 32meg of on-board ram (do wysiwig
webdev and graphics stuff)
Got a 19" monitor, too... heh, heh, heh...
Oh, yeah, big WOOFer of a sound system... oooooohhh....

:-)  

Hints? Tips? Suggestions? Wanna know what's helped me out the most?

And then... read, read, read, read, read.... Google... Google...
Google... Try it one way, and if it don't work, try it another way.
Don't be afraid to hose your system, just keep good back-ups and get
your hands dirty.

Hey... it's Friday!  Anyone gettin' off work early? Oh, hey, wait!!!
How's the weather up there in KC? HA! Y'all remember I'm from KC but
living in Costa Rica, right? I have on shorts, a polo shirt, sipping a
cooooool root beer (yes, ROOT beer) looking out the window at blue
skies. 75 wonderful degrees with light breeze... Oh, no! Wait! I need
more ice in my ROOT beer...  :-)

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 nothing but good things to say after a couple 
days on RH8. 
 
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.
