The up to now highly anticipated Red Hat Linux 9 is finally released. OSNews had its hands to the final version of Red Hat Linux 9 for over 3 weeks now and we were able to evaluate it in a number of ways. The final version is not too different than the Phoebe-3 beta for which we wrote a preview recently.

"Most of the time, most users including myself will be able to go around these problems, but newbies might need the ability to download packages that are similar to the ones on Windows, BeOS.. "
Frankly, I don't see the point of coming back to the same subjects again and again about Redhat. They do NOT target newbies. They do NOT target the home desktop market. It was even clearly said on an interview on that web site!
That stated, with freshrpms.net and apt-get, a user with a bit of computer experienceand a will to experimenet can very easily get a descent multimedia support on Redhat. But once again, don't ask Redhat to put that on their system. They don't care, it is not their market and it was even clear on the interview that some of these things could actually damage their market image.
