Re: linux version (solved)

Hi Tim,

Just a note of caution on RH8 running KDE (a desktop environment), it is very gui intensive.  It is designed to capture 
a lot of the desktop market, but running it on slow boxes will mean slow response times and unhappy people.  I use 
redhat (started many versions ago) mostly in networking environment, but find rh7.3 to bridge the gap for windows 
people, with resonable response times.

Open source is a great place, buying a version for docs is good when jumping in.  The distros are available from mirror 
sites (linked to rh) or directly from red hat

just my opinion,  Good Luck !
