Red Hat is the undisputed commercial leader when it comes to Linux distros. A few years ago more distros were sharing the Linux market/userbase, but these days Red Hat has overcome its competitors in impressions, sales and popularity. Popularity doesn't always mean quality though (look at Windows9x for example), so after our world's first review of Red Hat 8.0 a few months ago, I wanted to check out the new product, Red Hat 8.1, destined to be released sometime in the next one or two months. I downloaded and installed the third beta of 8.1, codenamed Phoebe, and gave it a whirl. We will be featuring a full review when the final version becomes available, but here is a preliminary report on the current status, accompanied by three screenshots. Update: Added one more screenshot.

I inserted my computer name and lan name at installation. And I have no trouble accessing other computers using nautilus "smb://pcname". Is there another way to access shares on other comuter under gnome?
The broken parts are the theme installer. Crashes every time. French-Canadian keyboard support is broken too. Also can't seem find the redhat network utility(I could not input my email addy in the installation.)
Now if I could find a good tutorial on installing 3d enabled nvidia drivers(without jeopardizing my installation this time) and an how-to install MP3 support on XMMS AND ntfs support.
