I understand that RH9 is marketed well, but in reality, you might want to check into a speedier, more multimedia packed distribution like Mandrake 9.1 for your desktop issues. RH is great on servers, but for desktops, well, too much work involved in tweaking/tuning - and RH8 and RH9 are doggedly slow.
