This is by no means a technical review - it is just a summary of my experience as I was going along, installing and configuring a Red Hat Linux 9 machine. I installed the standard "workstation" installation on my 2 year old desktop machine. I like Gnome at home, KDE at work, but this review only covers my experience with the default Gnome installation.

ll took about 45-50 mins total, with 30 mins for the packages installation. My ATI Radeon 8500 was detected as a radeon 8500LE but who cares when I just selected the 8500 driver from the list and it was configured perfectly. (probably same driver anyway!)
The Radeon LE is just a slightly lower-clocked Radeon 8500 with hyper-z disabled. I believe they can only be purchased OEM.
