Switching to Redhat

[Robert Dege]

I have.  That's why I asked.  In RH8, GNOME uses opaque moving of all
apps.  Along with True Type fonts, and full support of anti-aliasing, it
can really take a toll on the CPU/RAM.

Watching `make bzImage` run is bad.  It doesn't scroll....  The text
output spits out.....  in chunks.  A chunk here, a chunk there.  Moving
the term spikes the CPU load.  After moving the window, I could watch
as GNOME would refresh & overlay the text with the anti-aliasing effect.
I was able to disable the TTF & antialiasing, but I was unable to find a
way to remove opaque moving, or resizing.

I also don't run up2date, so all the packages I'm running are vanilla to
the release.  So there might be updated packages that address this.
