I am so disapointed! This release is nothing like I hoped it would be. It's sad that there is so little new stuff. Thank God that Suse is releasing 8.2 soon. At least they have made an effort to give something new. Redhat looks nice, but from a home user perspective I must say that nothing much has changed. No hotplug support, terrible scanner support, XSane 0.89 while Mandrake 9.1 has chosen 0.90 with updated libs so more scanners are covered.
I had high hopes for this release, but I can promise that Redhat has lost me! I will no more go for Redhat softwarel. Create something new and I will think about it.
Wishes for å new release.
Graphical boot, instead of the boring old text based. Suse 8.2 has done this. Much better support for HW. Hot plug support. MPlayer included. There should be no reason why this is a problem for Redhat when a lot of other distributors are including it.
I agree with the comment above, it should be Redhat 8.000001. This release sucks.
