Red Hat Linux

Post by Ark »

I'm about to start downloading Red Hat, but before I do it, I wish to know if it will be worth the wait.

So, here it goes: What do you people know about Red Hat?
Can Windows applications run on it?
Will I have any driver issues with it?
Is Red Hat good, or utter crap?

Whats wrong with Mandrake? I've been using it since 9.0 (Now on 10.2) and I've never had a problem with it. In fact Mandrake is actually a break away branch of Red Hat.
