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.

It is an ATA-66 Samsung 40 GB IDE. It is not a "slow" drive, it is a modern drive. You haven't seen slow drives it seems. I run the same mp3 radio station on my MacOSX with a SLOW A$$ laptop drive (Fujitsu) and it NEVER skips no matter the load on the OS. BTW, the mp3 that was skipping was streaming, so the hard drive has nothing to do with it. (and no, it is NOT bandwidth problem, I have PLENTY of it).
It is very well known about the mp3 skipping when mozilla loading pages, especially on older machines. But on my machine it should never happen. But it does happen once every ~10 pages loading.
