Amen Joe! David: If you do not like the philosophy and goals the Red
Hat employees explain, on this mailing list and in interviews published
and linked to from the Red Hat web site, you should look for another
distro. Obviously, a x.0 release is almost guaranteed to be very
different and problematic. Maybe you should try Mandrake or Slackware or
some other distro. All of them have their problems. No OS is perfect and
no major packages are perfect. I started out intending to use Mandrake
7.2 (I bought a boxed set) and I also installed 2 or 3 later versions of
Mandrake, but I did *NOT* like their installation routine, which skipped
past the step of making a boot disk and explained that I could set up an
account for "root" without needing a password. Things like that seem
very unprofessional to me. The people at Red Hat know Psyche isn't
perfect (what is ?) and the next versions will be better. I'm a Newbie,
and Joe is a Guru, but we both believe Red Hat is the best way for us to
go. Maybe another distro would be the best way for you to enjoy Linux.
GL, Lanny
