| Greetings,
| 
| My first post to this mailing list. I purchased a refurbished ThinkPad 600E
| with 128 Megs of ram, 10 gig drive, cd-rom, etc and am anxious to load
| my RedHat software on it as soon as it arrives. Are there any major
| configuration differences between RedHat 7.3 and 8.0 as far as video,
| sound, modem, etc? 
| 
| Also, for performance issues, has anyone tried using XFCE or the old
| reliable FVWM2 desktop environments which take up less resources?
| I certainly have no dillusions of running Quake III or Heavy Gear 2 on this
| machine, but would like reasonably snappy response. Perhaps a kernel
| recompile to eliminate some overhead?
| 
| Any tips, tricks, words of advice, etc would be greatly appreciated...
| 
| Great mailing list by the way. I've only been on two days, but have
| enjoyed the flow of information thus far.
| 
| Regards,
|

I have both on my system.  I think 7.3 is a little cleaner.  8.0 was released before its time.
