It think that RHL 9 have several improvements that I like too much. But I also think that they must wait for a couple weeks and then add the gnome fixes, the new gaim/GTK2, add their ACL and EA (as they already have the patches) and they also could improve Open Office a little bit.
I just wait two or three weeks more and then deliver a more complete, homogeneus and bug-free product. So, I think that I will install Ximian Desktop to solve these problems.
I like the Open Source politics of RH. If anyone demands patents issues to any linux distro, RH will not have problems with that. And I think that they motivate the Open Source standarization.
I like these things, just because you want NTFS, Quicktime, Media Player, DVD, mp3s, you dont need to have something that could be illegal. But I will offer an alternative selling must-be-closed software and then pay a fee for that. It must be cheaper than Windows.
I think that RH could do it, just because is big. And, if you want some Open Source programs that could be illegal, do it at your own risk.
Anyway, I think that all Open Source companies are great, and RH is one of them. Very wise decisions, but it could be better.
