[ltp] Red Hat 8.0 with R31

[Tod Harter]

Honestly I would get Mandrake 9.1. 8.0 is ANCIENT, and especially behind the 
times in terms of X. I think that version is still using something like XFree 
3.3.x or something, which had LOTS of problems with and was basically totally 
hapless at suspend/resume. You also have really buggy support for PC Cards, 
USB, APM in general, etc. Besides there are HUGE improvements in applications 
since version 8.0 (which is around 2 years old at this point). Do yourself a 
huge favor and don't even mess with it.
