I did have two complaints about 8.0, one of which was fixed in the phoebe-3 beta. The minor complaint, which was finally fixed, was the metacity window manager, which didn't have an option to lower a window by right-clicking the title bar. When I did a google search I learned that this seemed to be the number one complaint about metacity, and that the author was adamant about not allowing it to be added. Personally, I found this to be a show-stopper, and eventually I gave up on metacity and installed sawfish. In the beta, the behavior was finally added, bound to middle-click. The major complaint, which still exists in the beta, has to do with apache, perl, and CPAN. I use a helpdesk package called RequestTracker, which depends heavily on a whole bunch of perl modules, and I was unable to get it installed on Redhat 8.x. Turns out I couldn't even set up CPAN; when I ran 'perl -MCPAN -e shell', and within that tried to install the Bundle::CPAN, it failed miserably with some bizarre errors. So I still keep around a Redhat 7.3 box to run RequestTracker. Aside from that, I also do a lot of video work, and I've found that the mpeg encoding and editing tools are more mature and stable now. - -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.6 02/09/2003 iQCVAwUBPn+q71V9A5rVx7XZAQL00QP+OdcOBDqg9sDazdA69mgBvoPjpMgT7OXo BIIl42pqwaQzQNkpbipL/4Zo5J15wP/33HDu9dyh1yL6UXgp4m0ZrLjGg5Gr+bw4 cXanf8wMR/vIvUEyR22bOz8c1CWRsjLjYet2BqQ+FbXxE64nsl/DGaMk6I1zLemh mLvdFZxPWOc= =JOJQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
