There seem to be many reviews on Red Hat 9.0, but all seem to be written by Linux junkies who really know their stuff. What about the MS Windows Convert? They say people like the first thing they use (i.e. if you learn to drive a manual transmission, you prefer it over automatic). If this is true, how does Red Hat 9.0 introduce a novice pc user to the world of computers? I hope to answer some of those questions in this tiny review.

My linux experience is rather limited, but it just so happens that I just installed Red hat 9 last night… The one problem I had was the fact that it would have been helpful to have some idea as to what size to make the partitions. (No I didn’t RTFM either) I think this could have been made easier if the install was in a different order. First Choose your install type, then customize your specific packages to install, then use disk druid, and THEN have the install check to make sure that your partitions are large enough to support what you are asking it to do. Instead you now have to create partitions, customize your packages and when the install begins it checks to see if your partitions are large enough. Doing it in this order makes it a little late when you learn that one of your partitions is too small, because you can not go back to disk druid to change them. Your only option is to restart the entire install…
Other then that – So far, so good…
