I installed Red Hat Linux 9 (Shrike) to see what has changed between it and the previous major version of Red Hat (8.0). The article features some installation screenshots and of course some post-install screenshots showing Bluecurve in Gnome and KDE (more shots here), user experience and discussion of whether you should upgrade or not.

Yep, just what I thougt they would release. And before I go on, yes I have tested this in beta. This is 8.0 with a little polish and package updates. Nothing really new or exciting, no innovation, still not giving KDE its proper respect, still no multimedia support outa the box, still no mozilla plugin support outa the box, no equivalent to Mandrakes control center or SuSEs YaST, no improvement on rpm and dependency hell. Someone please explain to me how this pos rates a 9.0 and not an 8.0+ or 8.1 tops.
I think its perfectly obvious that RH 9 is totally outclassed by Mandrake 9.1 and SuSE 8.2. And most definately by Gentoo 1.4 and Slackware 9 for the enthusiast crowd.
