This is by no means a technical review - it is just a summary of my experience as I was going along, installing and configuring a Red Hat Linux 9 machine. I installed the standard "workstation" installation on my 2 year old desktop machine. I like Gnome at home, KDE at work, but this review only covers my experience with the default Gnome installation.

>Not really a Red Hat complaint - more of a Gnome one
Actually, it is a Red Hat complaint, and a complaint for ANY company that ships something problematic, even if they were not the original developers. We are talking about a product here, so it does not matter who did what, the whole point is how the product is performing for the retail/end user.
It is like saying, "oh, my SONY TV does not support more than 32 channels and I need 128, but that's ok, the chip that controls that part was not made by SONY". Sorry pal, but this is a product. It either works as you want, or it doesn't. It doesn't matter who did what, the overall product and the label is under matters, because at the end of the day, the company that shipped that product could change it or use another vendor. And it is Red Hat we are talking about here, who are doing REAL engineering on the OSS software (not just packaging), even more than Suse and especially Mandrake do these days.
