Rating:  - Good but a few bugs...
I personaly really like this product but there are a few set backs. For one: The GUI for iptables has a bug that makes it think your firewall settings are slways high (it does update the file though so its not that big of a problem.) But there are pluses to... Remember the MS blue screens of death? I have never seen RedHat fail! It comes with alot of stuff like office apps, tux racer and countless other games, a lot of text editers, and much other stuff. If you want a cheap desktop envirement thats ... Read More
Rating: - I can use Linux at last!
I've bought Linux in the past and struggled with it and eventually removed it. Either it wasn't compatible with my hardware or was too difficult to use.
Now, however, Linux is at least easy enough to use(like Windows 95) and although I had to buy a new modem, it worked with all my PC interal hardware. I still have a scanner and digital camera that doesn't work, but I expect Logitech to produce a driver at some point for the camera.
This Linux is great! It's powerful like Unix but ... Read More
Rating: - Getting to know Linux
I've been using Linux for about six months now. Red Hat 8.0 works well with my home LAN & Macintosh PPCs. The earlier versions 7.1, 7.3 used to be challenging especially undoing my WindowZ mentality. I like the way that RH8.0 smoothly configures on my Ethernet LAN. I intend to use Linux exclusively after test driving it for a few months. I don't need to reboot on every system change, only once an a while I would even have to logout. My system is dual OS'd with Windows 2000 Pro. and Grub startup. When ... Read More
Rating:  - Linux rocks, RH8 does not
If this was simply a review of RH8 in the contex of a supported environment, then I would give it 5 starts. But RH8 Personal edition, as a means for getting Linux on a home box by a non-sysadmin, is not completely where it could be.
The principle reason is the lack of drivers. I tried to get RH8 Personal on my Dell Dimension 2350 and the lack of even a functioning video driver made it all but impossible. Also, fdisk doesn't work with XP, so I had to use PartitionMagic 8.0 which has its own issues ... Read More
Rating: - Best linux yet but decide what you want to do with this
I have tried many distributions and versions inclding corel, redhat 7.3, mandrake 7-9. I have two machines and what I have the linux for is to do my school work. That means papers, writing java and c++ programs and other tasks handed to me by my computer science professors. If this sounds similar to what you want it for then it's perfect in my opinion. There are so many tools that are for free that you'd have to buy for windows but you can have them for free in the linux world. On the other hand, if you are ... Read More
