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.

I had a problem with my resolution too but I fixed it. RedHat only wanted to use 75 hertz at 1154 which I wanted to run 70 hertz because my 75 hertz just doesn't fit on my screen right... just a little bit of black all the way around no matter if I change my monitor settings. Which is what it did in Redhat 7.3 too but in that one I just copied over the modeline from xconfig file to the xconfig-4 file under dmms part of monitor. But I they didn't have mode lines, I did read the last article on Redhat here so I used the web site talked about to make a modeline, ok did that but nothing. So I got pissed and formatted installed Mandrake, copied the xconfig files to floppy, and formatted back to Redhat. Which then I copied the mode line over but nothing didn't work... Then looking at Mandrakes xconfig file I noticed that there was no dmms part under the monitor section... So I deleted that and added the modeline, saved it and rebooted... Everything seem to work then.
