Just a few weeks after the beta release of the next version of their Linux based OS, Red Hat has released 7.3.93 of their software, once again, code-named Limbo. Those of you who read my first Limbo review know that I gave it a favorable review. After downloading and installing the second beta, I had to take a few days before writing this article.

I am not saying apt-get is the best in the world - I am saying that Red Hat would be able to make it user friendly and easy (no it's not yet easy as you think - I dont want to change parameters in text files to be able to get the packages from a certain destination) as is an instalation on a Mac. When I first tied to install a program on a Mac I was impressed by the simplicity of the process. They can make it like that. Ok, they dont have to use deb packages - if they are stubborn they can use RPM but then make it easy and stable. I dont want to know that I need this lib for this or that to make the program run. And I want the program to be listed in the menu when I finish (a desktop link is a plus but not necessary). Is that too much to ask?
