Hello there,

I'm new here but not new to Linux and definitely not new to RH. Anyway, I just pulled down RHEL 4 Beta 1 WS and am about to give it a spin on my desktop and laptop.

Has anyone given it a shot? Have you run into many problems?

How is the KDE support compared to RHEL 3 - better, worse, or about the same?

Thanks so much,
Mark

where did you download RHEL 4 beta from? I can't find anywhere to get it.. my RHN login says I don't get any special benefits...

- Login to RHN.
- Select the "Channels" tab.
- Select "Easy ISOs" from the menu on the left.
- Scroll down to "Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 4 for x86) Beta".

You could also choose AS or ES. The only difference is the first disc. Discs 2 - 4 of the binaries are the same for all three versions.

Or just go to:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/nahant/

Hope this helps.

On a side note, I've installed this on an AMD Athlon 2200 and have been quite pleased with it ever since. There are a few minor bug but they aren't worth mentioning here. KDE support is, as expected, behind the Gnome support however it is still very serviceable.

Thanks,
Mark

this freaking thing keeps telling me that I have to have a paid subscription is order to download easy iso's...

I have a redhat login account from back when i bought rh9... what can i do??

You can find the RHEL 4 beta on any average mirror of Red Hat's download server, e.g. this one: http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/redhat/linu...hant/iso/i386/

Direct download for RedHat ES 4 beta 2 is also available here:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linu...eta2/iso/i386/

Yeah, but it's kind of nuts to increase the bandwidth usage on Red Hat's master server, when there are many mirrors world-wide. So, prefer a nearby mirror.
