RedHat 8.0 SUCKS!
First thing I noticed was when I upgraded my Linux Server from RedHat 7.3
that it lost it's NIC and Soundcard. Other software quit working. I had to
format the drive and start from scratch!

First thing I noticed is RedHat removed ALL MP3 players, all DivX players, and all MPEG players!
Not to mention they removed the GUI RPM manager, and all web browsers
except Mozilla. The File Browser has NO Tree view so you can't navigate anywhere!

Also, removed LINUXCONF, the only GUI way to manage your partitions and
edit your /etc/fstab file. There's a version of LinuxConf for Redhat 8,
but without an RPM manager it won't install. Besides you need to
download a separate GUI for this version!
Same for Adobe reader. You can download it but it won't install!

RedHat 8 SUCKS!

I'm sure glad I never installed it on my desktop.
I've left it at ver 7.3 and sure am glad I did.

Who uses a gui to manage their partitions? The resolution is too loose on big drives.

RedHat8 RULES. Adobe sucks, gui partioner sucks, LinuxConf sucks and it sounds like your soundcard sucks.

Dude, why would you bump a thread that's last post was in 2003?

Redhat 9 has been out since 2004, which means that 8 is pretty much a minority now.
