What are your initial impressions of Redhat 9.0?

SO what do you guys think of RedHat9.0? Is it basically a repackage of 8.0? SOme people mentioned that 8.0 had too many bugs for them and they will wait for 9.0? Did 9.0 fix these bugs? SHould I buy it or wait for the next version?

BTW what version of the Kernel is included with it?

Red Hat 9 is nice. Especially after you recompile the kernel. I just recompiled the 2.4.20 kernel to include ACPI and NTFS and the like and it works fine. I didn't find Redhat 8 to be all that buggy, but 8.0.93 beta was terrible. The final product seems really stable to me..

I really like 9 I think it did fix alot of the problems and concerns that I had with 8.0 I am still not sure if I would trust it on servers yet. I still use 7.3 on all of my server. Ohh BTW it uses 2.4.20 as the kernel which is very nice since that is pretty current. It definatly is robust!

What concerns did you have with 8.0? Just curious...
