So, I’ve been playing withj it for a couple hours now, and I’ve found more goodies.
VNC didn’t want to work right for me in rh8. It complained about mismatched color depths, when I know that was bunk.
Also, moz1.3gtk2rh8 and galeon 1.3.3 installed from rpm flawlessly.
This is the first time gnome2.2 has been available via rpm, so may apps I haven’t been able to upgrade until now.
xrandr is cool. xrandr -q tells you what you can do in a numbered list. xrandr -s # sets you to that resolution instantly.
GAIM 6.0cvs installed just peachy, and I must say, is QUITE cool.
All things considered, I like rh9 because it fixed my audio, made gnome 2.2 stuff work, and had a good upgrade path.
The BEST review I’ve ever seen of a new release is here. No fluff about install problems, just what’s really important.
this all is fine and dandy, but is there gnome menu editing, like in KDE yet?
I really need to make my blog software send email when people respond to responses. 🙂
I don’t know about the menu editing, i don’t use gnome sessions, I’m a fluxbox guy.
Hey – just a warning – I’m running RH9 on my laptop currently, and I have to say that while I love some of the new features, I would definitely not recommend it for use with laptops – it should be pretty good to go for workstations, but with laptops, it definitely has some issues (external mice, networking issues, cut/copy/paste, etc)….
