And for everyday use ?

So, how does it run for everyday use ?

If you've been using it for a week, surely you can tell us a bit more ?

Is it worth switching from RedHat 8.0 ?
Should we wait for RedHat 9.0 ?

I moved over from Mandrake 9.0 to RedHat 8.0 and am extremely happy with the change, however, I want to know beforehand whether it's worth switching back to Mandrake before I download 3 700 meg ISO files.

Multimedia support - everything runs "out the box" ?
Configuring it on a windows network ?

From the review, it looks like the speed has improved over 9.0 (which imho was a step backwards), which can only be good - I was very dissapointed with 9.0
