The RH 8.0 release came in answer to the MDK 9.0 release - it was more an exercise in "prettying up the GUI's and melting the WM's into one desktop environment" - only way I can think about putting it. Under the hood, it sucked/sucks - kernel versions are still below 2.4.20 - still unsure what kernel the next release, RH 8.1 is going to be - but overall, in having to deal with RH quite a bit, 8.0 sucked. I won't put it on my production boxes preferring to stick with 7.3 and (yeah, believe it or not) MDK on the workstations. -- Fri, 7 Mar 2003 06:05:00 +1100 6:05am up 7:30, 5 users, load average: 0.03, 0.24, 0.32 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * RH 7.3 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Professor: "Good news.
