Red Hat Linux

Ark · Post by **Ark** » 08 Sep 2005, 11:10

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?

You dont want Linux, you want Windows!

I ran RH couple of years ago, was my first Linux OS!

Very heavy and I didnt like Gnome, pref KDE :sly:
Yes u can run windows apps., Wine ne1 ?
Yes you will have driver issues, but u can sort it.
Dont know, do like Suse and Mandrake (im running Mandrivia

)

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.
