Here are some points that have kept me from installing it; perhaps these points are refutable. If so PLEASE refute them for me; I've used RHL for at least six years and I'm not going to leave it without a fight; that's why I'm posting here and asking these questions and making these points. 1) the problems I've seen reported to this list (I admit they seem to be waning) 2) I prefer a solution designed around KDE; for example on RHL 9, konqueror is almost unusable because of font problems, default problems, etc., yet on Knoppix it looks and works every bit as well as Mozilla. 3) I prefer a solution that does what I generally do right out of the box. The only MSW system here is a server running A1 monitor and the Mailtraq mail server, so I don't have the options of listening to MP3s, for example, on Windows, nor do I want to have to continually install non-supported "stuff"to do what I want to do. 4) I don't like the continuous upgrade cycle forced on me. 5) Sometimes RH is on a bleeding edge I don't want to be on; for example our webservers are still running RHL 7.3 because we're not happy with Apache 2.x yet. As I wrote above, I am looking for good refutations <smile>! Thanks. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, nobaloney.net, P. O.
