I have a piii 550 with about 256Mb ram with an agp 32Mb video card and Im wanting to install a desktop that has the 3d cube on the screen and use the arrow keys to select wich desktop you want to use and it brings it to the screen. Has anyone heard of such or tried this?? Thanks -- Wireless Etc David Milholen Lead Coordinator Phone:(501)318-1300 Email:dmilholen at wletc.com Web:www.wletc.com

I have done it on FC5 and FC6, but both of those are of different breeds than CentOS4.x You'd need to switch out a _lot_ of RPMS to get it to work I am pretty sure and it wouldn't be fun. I do not suggest this. FC5 was some work to get it functional and FC6 much much simpler. I would suggest using one of those if that functionality is a necessity for you.

A 32 MB video card is most likely an older one, and it may not have enough power to make it usable. If you haven't already, you should probably look for info on what are good specs for running that setup. -- - Kevan Benson - A-1 Networks
