 We quickly phased this out., 2003-07-15
If you are standalone then you have nothing to worry about. However, if you are on a network and have UNIX machines, there is a really nasty bug with NFS. Our RH machines actually brought a switched network to its knees. RedHat as to form said to get the next release.

 Better edition is out., 2002-10-29
Red Hat 8 is out, and it is muuuuch better! If you want phone support you need to buy the professional edition; otherwise, you just get email help - which isn't much help. If you are a newbee Windows type of person I would seriously consider Red Hat Professional. Why spend all evening cussing your computer? The only other Linux edition I would consider is Xandros. I haven't tried it yet, but Xandros is the follow on to the old Corel Second Edition of Linux which was a great piece of work.

 Best RedHat yet, almost as easy as Windows, 2002-09-30
Almost as easy as Windows. The installation went flawlessly and it's easy to use. Any problems I experiences had nothing to do with Red Hat, but instead the applications available for download and installation. A lot of applications are written for Linux gurus and don't include those nice things like automatically installing shortcuts on the desktop. But I downloaded Yahoo messenger and it worked just like the Windows version, and it even gave me a desktop icon that worked. Samba to hook into Windows workstations is still a bit clunky to set up, and I would love to see if version 8 takes it a step farther.

 Have a look at Mandrake for the desktop, 2002-08-20
I like Redhat a lot and consider it the strongest and most stable linux distribution aimed at the server market.However for a more co-hesive interface, userfriendly experience and better MS Windows integration I would probably go with Mandrake Linux.
