Re: [newbie] rh 6.0

I read that RedHat 6.0 allows the user on setup to choose between Gnome and
KDE.   I would choose KDE because it is supposed to be more stable.   But
I've been known to load xtra options and try them out for myself in spare
time.The great thing about Linux is CHOICE.   Drink it in!!!

You know, I was wondering the same thing..RH 6.0 also
includes Gnome as a standard desktop should you choose to
use it.

Nick, what mirror did you use?
I used "http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk" in
/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com, but that's over
here in the UK. To find one nearer to Folly
Beach (?) I suggest you have a look at
"http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html"

Try the .edu ones first - they tend to be
bigger and faster imho.

happy hunting.

I saw RH6.0 on the RedHat website. (ftp.redhat.com) Good
luck, as their server is extremely busy.

I think in the new RH6.0 you can specify either Gnome or KDE
as your default. I saw an annoucement on the RH web site
that they have new, updated RPMs for Gnome that have
hundreds of bug fixes.
