I've lived and breathed RedHat for 3 years (since 6.0). I've helped probably 50 people install it, suggest it as much as I can, give out CDs to friends and at conventions, install it on all of my servers and workstations and at home, and am thinking of being a RHCE. In short, RedHat is almost like a religion for me (: RedHat did SO much work on SO many tools, I am shocked and amazed that there is not an easy-to-find menu editor. This is like a black eye for an otherwise well-polished OS. I can't recommend people try out 8.0 with a good conscience. Someone else suggested that I look in Start Here for a Programs button but I don't see it. I did a customized install, so it is possible that I didn't install the package that gives me that functionality. Anyway I would have thought it would have been integral to Gnome. In IRC last night, I was told by RedHat employees that it doesn't exist because Gnome 2 didn't have it. C'mon, RedHat.. you wrote many other wizards and GUIs, why should that stop you here. They said if they didn't include Gnome 2, there would be an outcry, which is true. My guess is they didn't want to start on a menu editor when an official one is coming and then they'd have to scrap all of that work or port it to however Gnome decides to impliment it. But I'll bet money the RedHat menu editor looks and acts different than the Gnome one anyway. I'm embarrassed to install a not-complete OS for our LUG members on Saturday, but I will anyway because despite this, Bluecurve is great and was a good move on RedHat's part, and they're just exersizing their right to modify open-source software. A good menu editor will come. CD __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
