Well, here on OSNews, there has been plenty of discussion about Red Hat 8, what it is, what it isn't, the Bluecurve look and many other features and issues. I ordered Red Hat 8 Personal Edition and decided to see how close Red Hat 8 may be to a distribution that Joe and Jane User could install and use.

Yes, a Radeon 7500 sound card - that was quite a typo <g>.
Yes, there is no Applications CD...I'm not sure where that came from. Yesterday, Red Hat PE 8, SuSE 8.1 and ONone all came in at the same time....I think I got confused.
3D acceleration - yes, it does seem to be working, although they warn you about possible instability.
Big Icons - yes, they are huge, aren't they? I can only imagine how big they are at 800 x 600!
A side note - when doing monitor configuration, I thought of Eugenia and her loaned 24". I noticed that, with my Phillips 17", even 1600 x 1200 was grayed out! <g>
Thanks for the corrections1
