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.

I give this terrible distro a 2 for hardware support. My hardware is all listed, yet I never saw the anaconda GUI while installing this pile of shit because it wouldn't recognize my LCD display.
I give Shrike a 2 for speed also, since Xfree is still brutally slow, pauses are common, and I can make mp3 playback skip at will - something impossible on my hardware with BeOS or Win2K. I've heard people claim the superiority of Linux ("speed," stability, etc) but I've seen none of these claimed benefits. Hell, this garbage even costs more than Windows, once my time is factored into the equation. I've bought distros, tried 'em, tossed 'em, still waiting for the magical distro that will live up to the hype.
PS. does no Linux user care about drag and drop start menus, or consistent cut/paste behaviour?
