I’m slowly but surely learning more about Linux Red Hat.
My “test” machine is not very powerful (1.8 ghz Celeron, 128MB ram, 4MB video) so you can imagine is rather painful to do anything graphics wise. My college buddy Glenn pointed me to Blackbox which is very light weight (maybe too light weight) but its very fast X Windowing package.
Gnome seems to be the most robust, but of course that makes it the slowest. KDE is a slight improvement in speed, but loses a few features. I have FVWM but haven’t had a chance to test it yet.

Wow, these are some cool themes: ThemeXP
However, it requires that you install StyleXP which is not free. But the results are REALLY cool. I’m not sure its cool enough to buy, but the trial is very nice. This guy (?) sure has a great sense of style. heh.

I finally installed WinXP on my main system.
I had been holding off because I hate customizing everything the way I like, and installing all my programs. But my system was not doing so well as I installed a few too many programs, specifically video related ones, that started causing problems.
I’m definately enjoying WinXP. I can’t wait till I get a new PC that’s faster than this sorry old 700mhz.
