Choppy, I tried RedHat 7.3 and found problems with it, so I'm waiting to see what patches are released.
To start tracking down your problems, I recommend you check the dmesg log to see if there were any hardware incompatibilities detected at boot, and also the X Window logs, though I don't know where they are. Anybody know?
