This may not be of much use to those of you who dread text based installs, and those in the know, but a bit of useful information I came across when I installed Red Hat Linux 9 recently.

Glad to see a RH9 topic come up so soon. I bought and installed RH9 on my Athlon 1000 box yesterday afternoon and with the distro itself I am very impressed - Bluecurve gives the kind of application appearance consistency previously only seen on Mac or windows
it all just worked.
The only problem is that compatibility with some software is broken because they're using GBLIB2.3 and NPTL threads backported to kernel 2.4.20 from the 2.5 dev series ( no I don't know what these are or why nothing now works )
Does anyone know when RPM builds of WINE for RH9 will be available? As a new convert from Windows this is a much needed application. According to Sourceforge you need a version for GLIBC 2.3 but they don't seem to offer one for download...
