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.

Sorry to take so long to reply been out. Anyway I got the 800 mhz c3 ver. from caseoutlet ( then my 13 GB hard dive failed so I had to go buy an 80 GB no idea how to fill it up)
so I got everything installed and running hardware wise so I started to install gentoo but it had issuses with the partitioning and I'm not smart enough with linux to fix it so I gave up and tryed to install red hat 7.3
I got it installed untell it got to the last pakage and it failed so I gave up on that and put on windows xp pro. ( I got it for free
untell I could download redhat 8.0, so I ran a few bench marks on the chip and so forth (I used fresh dignose) and it said it beat out a 700 celeron and a 800 duron, but just barly, same with the memory bandwith. It seems to be running fine I got it going 24/7 running seti takes about 40 hours to complete a unit sometimes less.
Be sure to use round cables and it's still a tight fit. so to sum it up windows xp runs rather fast and it has issues with linux (but I'm a super linux newbie too) going to try red hat 8.0 hopfuly tonight and I'll be sure to get back to you. nice system for the price if anyone else has any questions just ask
