Oh no I knew I would probably upset some Fedora fanboy. :)
But I've found both Windows XP and knoppix faster than Redhat 9.0 and I got rid of Fedora a soon as I installed it.
Windows XP boots up in about a minute and Redhat takes at least 3. When I drag a Windows around I can actually see the Window being drawn line by line in Fedora - the graphics are faster with a non-accelerated X driver in knoppix.
The reason you've probably found Redhat fas is because you've got more RAM and Redhat eats RAM.
My machine is:
1800MHz
32MB Pro S3 savage graphics card.
256MB RAM
Yes I know it's not great, I don't use it for networking programming listening to music watching videos games ect.
I use it for burning CDs, surfing the net, Word processing, electronic circuit simulation - somthing that Linux can't do very well yet as all the simulation software is Windows only and there are not good Linux programs for this, but I've had this discussion before; http://www.microsuck.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8833
I'm glad that Fedora worked for you but it's never worked for me. Redhat 9 has kernel panicked more times than Windows XP has crashed, and knoppix is faster and uses a lot less memory even though it's run from a CD!
So I'm happy for you but I'll just keep using Windows for my main OS and Vector Linux/Knoppix when I'm in a Linuxy mood.
This thread wasn't designed to piss anyone off or be anti-Linux I just realised Linux isn't all good they're some really shitty distros out there even though most are good. What might work well for you might suck for someone else and vice versa.

Fedora Core 3 and Red-Hat 9.0 are different things, stop babbleing... lunatic.

Then turn use the other driver in Fedora, moron.

Crossover Office will probably run it however, I can get Macromedia Flash, Photoshop 9.0, Internet Explorer, and all kinds of crap to run in it with no problem at all.

Knoppix does seem to be very badass in that respect. I used to run all latest RC releases on my PIII before it became a server and everything, never had a kernel panic, the word kernel panic to me means: fucked hardware. But then, I never used Red-Hat 9.0, I remember having some problems with Red-Hat 8.0 and using slackware for the longest time.

I used to be a like that, but then, I'm seventeen now and I have been running Linux on at least one system, or one partition since I was 13.

Yes, well when I think back, Red-Hat can be very piss_you_off with a lot of things. Maybe I just enjoy the challenge, but I cannot stand the Windows Interface, I have cygwin but still... Windows' Neanderthol Filesystem (what the fuck are drive letters doing in the 21st century) has its problems with making that easily managable (with the fact cygwin works hte UNIX way).

I tried both and I don't like either of them.

Yes but I could turn on my computer and start Vector Linux or Windows and be ready to work in a minute rather that waiting ages for Fedora to boot.

I've tried Wine and it didn't work.
I'd rather not buy Crossover Office and then risk discovering it doesn't work. You're retarded, why the fuck do you run MSIE under Linux?

Yes Redhat 9 did but Fedora didn't it was just a very slow.

I'm still contemplating buying another PC to run Linux on. I go to auction every week and next time there's a half decent blank PC I'll test it with my knoppix disk. Blank PCs always go cheap as people are dumb and think they don't work because Windows isn't installed.

Well I don't want a challenge I just want to get my work done. And yes the Windows file systemm is shitty but I don't have a problem with the Windows interface - I'm used to it. If I go for Linux it'll be Vector Linux or knoppix installed on the hard disk. Fedora lists a minium requirement of 256MB of ram in graphic mode and 192MB in text mode! wtf knoppix can run a full GUI with KDE and no swap file/partition with just 84MB and Vector Linux will run a gui (XFCE instead of KDE) in 32MB, or 16MB for text mode.
