RH8.0 very unstable

[Didimo Grimaldo]

I think that is my verdict on Red Hat 8.0. Not only that in trying to install GRUB (and getting it right) it screwed up my WinXP installation (I lost valuable data). I freezes quite often.

And when it freezes I can only move the mouse but can't focus on anything to perform anything useful. Only a reboot (sounds like Windows) would get me out of it.

These freezes always seem to happen when Mozilla is active.

The good old Yahoo Messenger (version 0.99) is now broken. I noticed I can type messages but all the incoming messages (while online) are totally unreadable, you only see dots, like squashed-down letters. That was fine in RH7.2. I think that was the best Y!Messenger for Linux. I tried GAIM and didn't like it at all.

Several nice applets (like the various clock applets) are gone.

Booting with LILO on the MBR gets me a Kernel Panic so I can only boot from floppy :(

There are other points that don't come to my mind, but using it has become a frustrating experience.

I think I should have left my system with 7.2 and waited for 8.1. The big-number.0 releases are always problematic.
