Red Hat 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.

RE: Redhat is not for Newbies

This is the part you don't understand.
I KNOW that Red Hat only targets the server space and the workstation/corporate desktop and not the home desktop.
HOWEVER, that does NOT mean that if you make it hard for even the administrators to hunt down what they need is "ok". It is not ok. The fact that a user is not a newbie, does not making the OS any better for puitting extra work to the user.

It is not slow.

>Is this an OS review or a desktop review

It is nothing of the two. It is my opinion on how to make Red Hat better. Server settings and additional tools are mentioned in the article. The fact that you can do something with the command line does not mean that an advanced user wouldn't like to see a GUI equivelant tool to make his/her life easier.
