The system was stable. I haven't gotten X to work yet. I've been
sleeping at the office for the past few days, no time to tinker with my
home machine. RH6.1 wasn't able to identify the sound card also. Or i
think it identified it but said that the kernel doesn't support it.
What i don't like is that, video uses the system RAM. I have 31MB for the
system and 1 MB for video. You can change that setting.
