[ltp] ThinkPad 600E-RedHat 7.3 or 8.0???

[Jeff Pummill]

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,
