I had no problems getting it working on an IBM ThinkPad 600E (PII 366 MHz 256+Whatever is on the board MB RAM) but I wasn't satisfied with the result after it was working.
My complaint was that now fluxbox, and or blackbox no longer render properly and are incredibly slow to load and or change styles (i.e. reload). I don't know if it is the new compiler or libraries or just RH's f'ed up X pakcages but I'm going back to slackware or maybe I'll try SUSE again because RH has gotten too customized with both their kernels and their X packages.
They may be making their distro better for mom and pop users but it sucks if you have any knowlege at all and want to tweak it. (BTW, I'm a Microsoft developer so you know my knowlege is limited.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;P)
