Redhat made a lot of changes to the kde that they ship with RH8, that many that the kde developers will not offer support or bugfixes for stock RH8 kde installs.
I use red hat 8.0 and for some strange reason when ever I try run gnome my computer stalls and messes up really bad. Some times I have to restall red hat
all over again because of the massive crashing. But when I use kde my computer is super fast. Here or my specs. CPU: 250MHz Intel Pentium 1. 8Mb Ram and a default video card. But when I run kde it runs like a 2.7 GHz intel pentium 4 with 1024Mb ram. It's very strange that you think Gnome(a.k.a computer crasher) is better than kde.

I understand how amazing linux is, and how it can run on a wide variety of hardware, but...
8MB RAM! And pusing KDE as well, that's amazing. Along with the fact that it appears fast to you, that is, well that's amazing.
I find the stock RH8.0 KDE3 to be rock solid, it hasn't died on me once yet! It does drag somewhat though but that would have a lot to do with my processor (celeron 333), RAM (64MB), and the services I have running (I use it as a router/firewall/web server/mysql server...).

So what's the deal?
