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.

"Here we go again. Now that RH has released another distro we will get to see 7 billion reviews from every know journalist who tries it out here on OSNews. Save everyone a trip.....RH9 = RH8+ Thats all anyone really needs to know. Did they add anything new and innovative? No. Did address any complaints since 8.0? No."
Obviously you need to read a review or two cause you're not aware of what you're talking about. Some things are innovative redhat sponsored the NPTL patch OSnews (and every other site) made a big stink about that speeds up X significantly merged into 2.5.63 kernel? well Redhat 9 has it as far as I know nobody else has put it in 2.4.x It's an NPTL patch
