[NTLUG:Discuss] video problems

[Paul Ingendorf]

Uhm about RedHat 6.x I'm not so sure I would recomend that.  I set it up on
a box because I was forced to against my own protests.  2 days later it has
been rooted and t0rn was installed on it and the hacker was using it to
pirate warez from Massachusetts.  Just an FYI I'm not sure about the other
two but I remember the problem with 6.2.

IF you don't want to put this box on the internet, try a distribution thats
designed for your needs:

o Red Hat 6.x
o Peanut Linux
o SuSE 6.3

Any of these were designed on ~200mhz machines with at most 64meg of memory.
While some of the eye-candy will be missing, you will get much snappier
screens. I believe Hylafax was in red hat and suse in those revs.

If you plan to put this box online, the first two recommendations above are
still maintained for low end boxes. (That is, you can find info about what
patches you need before logging on. )
