MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
What's the window manager you get with Redhat?
May need something with no 3d effects but that is not shite.
Why Redhat? Try CentOS (owned by Redhat but more community driven) [url= http://www.centos.org/ ]CentOS[/url]
GNOME. I installed Fedora 21 t'other day as I will eventually have to hit systemd and wanted to gen up on it. I chose workstation and it comes up with their strange window manager designed for touch too.
Otherwise try mint or something as that's quite good.
Metacity if it's gnome 2, mutter if it's gnome 3.
Or you possibly meant desktop shell? In which case rhel 7 is gnome 3 and takes some getting used to. I use xfce for something simpler.
Most distow allow you to install your which ever one you want and swap. xfce is quite a good light weight one. [s]Or go for FVWM if you want something really old school looking![/s] Edited because to the not shite requirement.
Why Redhat?
The one that comes with RH just seems nicer than all the other plain unaccelerated ones.
I did mean desktop shell, I think, yes 🙂
Systemd... Echoes of a distant flamewar.
Trying Gnome3 in a VM.

Redhat is more aimed at the enterprise world (give us dosh for support). CentOS has a great community following. They are essentially the same product, but one isn't after your dosh.
But for the desktop environment, XCFE is nice and lightweight as said up there.
Metacity is the default windows manager in Gnome.
