Thanks a lot Marco. I'll give this a lot of attention.I am running RH9 with OpenOffice application and Internet/Mail (Mozilla 1.4 RC1) application on PII 233 MHz with 320 Mb of RAM and on a Celeron 400 with 256 Mb of Ram with good operability and using Gnome (and they both work also as routers...).

I see from the release notes for Red Hat 9 that the minimum CPU is a

My question is, what is the lowest-end system that one can get
realistically decent graphics performance from with Red Hat 9? Including
internetting and office management tasks? A Pentium 90? Pentium 66? How
low can I go before the hardware chokes the OS performance-wise?
It strongly depends from what you exactly mean by " internetting and office management tasks".
If you mean online gaming, or accepting those sites where even the "Contact Us" page is done in Flash, or using OpenOffice.org, then you need a relatively powerful machine regardless of the operating system.
Otherwise, have a look at

Java and Flash of course stress the machines....but you can accept it if you are short of money... ;-)
Of course no games.....also Qcad is running at acceptable speed.
Less power need than for same application under Windows XP, this is my experience.
