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.

It looks like there is no simple way to retrofit MP3 capability for KDE. This means no audiocd:// capability nor playback through native KDE apps. We really need a reliable 3rd party source for KDE RPMs. I'm not arguing that they do not have legitimate reasons, but objectively speaking Red Hat's KDE RPMs are crippled.
If there is something I am missing, please let me know. I mean something other than "use Gnome".
