Red Hat Linux 6.2 Can not login

Hi, Guys, This is my first post here. I am new to Linux other than a friend and I talking about it. I just installed RH 6.2, and everything seemed to go in OK. The problem I have is, that I can not login on my computer. I used the same username and password for both root and the user. I see where I'm supposed to login, but when I use my username, Lew and hit enter, then try to type in my password, the cursor won't move and my password is not going in. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Lew

I've seen your thread in other forums. 3 strips of memory isn't not enough information to determine the actual total amount but I doubt that any current Redhat or CentOS version will work well enough. I would take a look at mx-14.
