May well have been memory - CPU is not overclocked. Pulled the four
4-meg sims that were on the motherboard and put in four 8's.
Installed with no problem.
By the way.... with 16 meg memory, Red Hat gives you a text-based
install routine, with 32 (or more, I suppose), you get a gui. Cool.
Regarding system load with new versions (sort of): Back when I had a
486DX4-120, the CPU cooling fan quit (and I didn't know it) - the system
would still run Linux all day long with no problem, but if I booted Windows,
it would crash within 5 minutes or so. I think Linux has a long way to
go before it catches up with Windows' bloated system demand. A good thing.
(Maybe irrelevant, but at least interesting.)
