redhat9, a first look

topher

Well, I installed it this morning, and I’ve had 10 minutes to play with it. Now my kids are eating and I’m watching Dragon Tales with them. 🙂

In those 10 minutes I learned:

  • They fixed the bug in 8 that made my onboard soundcard not work.

  • The upgrade path works VERY well.

  • The upgrade makes mp3 playing STOP working, but xmms.org already has an rpm for rh9 that fixes that.

  • The game Chromium works smoothly for the first time ever. With rh7.3 and 8 it ran so slowly that I could hardly move the mouse to quit. This gives me hope for easy installation of things like Unreal.
