As someone who has used both RH and Slackware, I can say that, IMO,
They are both easy to install. I wouldn't say that one is harder than
the other. Don't let the price scare you away, as they can both be
downloaded for free, or you can save yourself the headache and get
them from cheepbytes for $2, or something rediculous like that. Hell,
for that price you might as well pick up both and make your own comparison.
As for Enlightenment: it is a full featured, extreamly customizable
window manager. It is also very slow, and has a large memory footprint.
You may want to reconsider which window manager you use, if you are
using a 486. try http://www.PLiG.org/xwinman for more info.
