Wow - I think you are looking for reasons to be mad at RH...

I suspect that RHEL requires more memory than a 486 can address, sort of forcing their hand - can you put more than 64 Meg in a conventional 80486 (avoiding odd SMP architectures)? RHEL requires 256 Meg RAM (of course, now I've just given you *another* to complain about RH. ;^) See: http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/configuration/

Besides, do you really want to try GNOME on a 80486-based system?
