Red Hat 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.

RH Network & conclusion

There's something I don't get about the RedHat Network troubles.

Which RedHat Network offerings did he apply to? Basic, Enterprise, Demo ? I wouldn't be surprised the free offering (demo) only provides a restricted shared bandwidth that would make downloads very slow.

More generally speaking, there's a big problem with the conclusion of the review. As I read it, he only got 2 major troubles; the OpenOffice install bug and the RH network speed. That's two RedHat specific bugs, so the conclusion should not claim that "Linux" is not ready for desktop world, but rather that "RedHat Linux 9" is still perfectible.
