I've about decided to try Gentoo.  I built my new system (dual Athlon 1.9s, 
SCSI RAID) and in addition to RH 7.3 I left three spare partitions for 
trying other distros.  Gentoo appears to be a good approach and I don't 
have the new system at the point where there is anything critical on it.

I built KDE 2.2.1 on WS 3.1 but that actually worked so I quit while I was 
ahead <G>.

As soon as I finish up some things I have to do I'll give it a try.
