RH6.0 + Gnome + Enlightenment beat up my P166/48MB. a lighter-weight window manager would help, as would more memory; but I'd still recommend against it on a P100. FVWM, no Gnome, this would be fine on a P100. I'm guessing OpenOffice might still be a bit doggish tho; even with 128MB. Carl Soderstrom -- Network Engineer Real-Time Enterprises (952) 943-8700
