Convince me that Yellowdog is the Linux for me!

How can I tell if I'm getting hardware rendering or not?  I also have 
problems with X-windows (I can only do 1024X768 display) and this may be 
related.  I have a VERY standard video card (ATI Rage 128 16 MB) which 
Xconfigurator claims to identify.  This could explain why my KDE experience 
is so slow.

BTW, for an absolutely effusive review of OS X by definite non-Mac addicts 
check out this month's Linux Journal, they seem to think it's the 
second-coming!  : )
