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.

I just noticed the many links to freshrpms.net. Some of them are probably broken by now (I've released gxine 0.3.2 for example), which is the reason why the prefered way of linking is to http://freshrpms.net/rpm/packagename as explained on the website.
Also, for the latest Phoebe beta (rpm 4.2), I've made an apt package available, which is pre-configured to fetch the freshrpms.net 8.0 packages, so although it won't be able to automatically install dependencies from the main distribution, it'll still take care of all dependencies "inside" freshrpms.net packages. It can be found here on http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/testing/phoebe/ and probably works with Red Hat Linux 9.
Also, I still don't understand why so many people tell to go to my website for most of the packages, but to gurulabs for the xmms-mp3 one... freshrpms.net has got it too, and available through apt and yum! ;-)
