I did , I was just wondering if there was anything really new
other then their controversial new windows manager.
I also meant "any major improvements" as in did anyone try it ?
almost everything GUI. RHL 8.0 (aka psyche) is targetting the desktop market. This is the most 'point-n-click-n-point-n-click' release of RH.
- LVM setup option during installation (like setting up RAID)
- GNOME 2.0
- has the 'missing' wireless config tool for neat (or redhat-config-network)
- It has open office
I would make this be rather... the most "point-n-click-n-point-n-click" realease of any Linux Distriobution up to date, To bad it still comes with the 2.4.18 kernel...should've been 2.4.19.
Here's a pretty cool way to get in to one/many of the mirrors:
Use ncftp (i don't know if other ones do this), and open up a bunch of terminals and do "ncftp ftp.bla.bla"... a different mirror on each one. If you can't get in, ncftp will retry every 10 seconds until you get in. Eventually, you'll get in to at LEAST one of them... then once you're in, just do "get psyche*" and you're set!
I am currently running Mandrake 8.0 and I have samba installed on it so that I can share files with my XP machine. I am trying to replace it with this new version of Red Hat. Do you guys know if this version of Red HAt has samba in it or should I download it seperately? Should I save my samba.conf file and copy it over once I install Red Hat? Because I had such a hard time when I was trying to configure it with mandrake, and I dont want to go through it again.
Thanks.
