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.

I find all these reviews really boring, because they just do the install, make a few cursory observations about the appearance, and that's it.
I used to look forward to reading reviews, downloading new versions, etc., but the whole Linux thing has gotten pretty stale for me. Some distros are better than others, but all are really slow compared to Win or Beos on the same hardware. All lack any real GUI tools. (I can't understand way RH stopped distributing linuxconf & xconfig (the kernel tool)). Sure there'es a GUI, and a supposedly great kernel running underneath, but there's no connection between them.
Can't wait for yellowtab to come out...or at least the next syllable release, instead of this same OSS crap over and over again.
