I presume that Linux 8.0 means Red Hat Linux 8.0 (or perhaps SuSE
or Mandrake) -- there being no such monster as Linux 8.0 that I'm
aware of. If you are talking about Red Hat Linux 8.0, the way I would
do it is to edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop and set DESKTOP=, then to
edit /etc/X11/prefdm and change the line that reads preferred=
to read preferred=xdm. If memory serves, you might be able to 
use the GUI Login Manager tool to change the display manager, but
I don't use Crimson Fedora, so you're on your own there.

Heya Kurt-
Did you know over at linux central they pass off the cheap copies of the Rojo Sombrero 
as Linux 8.0, because of the trademark thing. The copies labeled Red Hat 8.0 cost full 
price, I believe, while the other are something like a third of the price!!

What's in a name? 20 or 30 extra bucks, if ya work it right:)
