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'd check out your harddrive settings, maybe you hvae a terribly slow harddrive.
I've had problems with ogg files skipping. It has something to do with the sound settings in xmms. I think the default sound setting (hit Control-P to get the window) uses eSound output. You might try using the OSS driver or another one. Changing to the OSS driver fixed it to me.
I doubt it is harddrive speed. If it is then you can use hdparm to test your speed. You'll have to be root to use it. To test it just type "/sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/hda" (where the "hda" part is your hard drive) or "/sbin/hdparm /dev/hda" to see what your hard drive settings are. If "using_dma" isn't turned on you can turn it on by doing "/sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hda"
Good luck!
