More RAM will definitely help.
I agree. I found that a RAM upgrade from 64MB to 192MB will almost double your overall performance.
My first strategy for speeding things up is to run FVWM2 instead of Gnome or KDE. There are a couple of other small window managers out there, but I have a long history with FVWM. There are a couple of other FVWM freaks in this user group, so you can get help.
There was some talk about running an FVWM demo at one of the user meetings. Is there any more interest in this?
Consider xfce4 instead. It's a lightweight, functional desktop, reminiscent of CDE.
Also have a look at Fluxbox. It is a very simple yet powerful window manager with a right-click based menu system for starting applications and configuration. Great for customized setups; it doesn't share Redhat's default menus. --- Anton -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
