Hello all,
Well, this is my take on RH 8.0. Over the week end I tried to help a friend
installing RH. The person never used linux before (only Mac and Win), and so
I thought RH 8.0 would be perfect. it's also my first time installing RH 8.0.
The installation went fine and really smooth. Then a

First things first it is an 8.0 release. therefore much technology in it
is new.

Let me say, I was banking on a better job. I use RedHat at home and at
work and in both cases had (and am still having) major problems. At
home I run a hobby ISP and the implementation of 8.0 I admit wasn't
well thought out or exactly planned beforehand let alone trialled b

I had problems with Java 1.4.1 acting a little strange with applets; so I
tried an earlier version, 1.3.0, and all is working well now.
If that helps you any.

around, but first impressions are good...

I have a Geforce2 64meg card. I went to Nvidia and downloaded the
updaters drivers/kernel and installed them and restarted. When Linux
restarted I got a fatal error on X, saying it can't start. I tried
reconfiguring it but that didn't work, so I uninstalled the rpm
driver/kernel and restarted a
Probobly has to do with your video drivers. You might want to look at the
web site for your video card and see if they have Linux drivers. The Game
requires OpenGL. GLX is the OpenGL for X driver. If you have a Geforce or
an older TNT card, you can go to www.nvidia.com and get the driver for

Unfortunately I haven't gotten into WINE yet (although it is installed),
nor VMWare. I tried installing Unreal Tournament 2003 earlier, but get

Sweet. Usually I don't upgrade a server unless there is a REALLY good
reason to, so the server features like apache and the like are not that
important right now. Good information. I am finishing up the 5th disk now
and I think I will install it in VMWare for a quick test...

My opinion on Red Hat 8 is a good one. I modified their bluecurve theme
so that it was to my liking, but overall I like it. I don't see what
all the fuss was about with it. I mean, it's just a theme (from what I
notice) and it's just as easy to take it off to the traditional KDE
theme.
