A month ago we published the world's exclusive review of Red Hat 8.0, Download Edition. In the meatime Red Hat, Inc. sent us a box of their newest product, Red Hat Professional. While the OS is pretty much the same as in the download edition and we have already made an extensive article on it, a few additional goodies await the customer in the box and we review them.

I share the opinion of Chris. I have played with linux since SuSE 6.1 and have never ever dreamed of using Linux for every day use.
With Mandrake 8.0, I switched to Mandrake and have been using it through version 8.2. But when I installed 9.0 on my system, it felt like a cold shower (I share Eugenia's dissatisfaction with Mdk9.0. But please don't start the discussion all over again now!)
But when I saw the screenshots of RedHat 8.0, I got curious and installed it one night via our cable modem. The next morning I booted RedHat 8.0 and I was very very pleased.
In fact, I was so pleased that I bought a boxed version of RedHat 8.0 Personal and now I am using it on a daily basis with very high satisfaction. I switched from Windows 98 to RedHat 8.0! Yes, that's right!
I have been a KDE user since KDE1, but now I have switched to Gnome2 because it is way faster on my ageing hardware (k6-2 300MHz, 192Mb ram) than KDE3 and I find it more logical to use, too. And: everything just looks beautiful in the RedHat 8.0 world!
My only wish is a good font installer like drakfont in Mandrake 9.0. Why? Because Mandrake 9.0 embeds the imported truetype fonts in the PDF.
