For me the problem is simple! We are all free online examiner. some of us pay for that stuff... rh makes the same like m$, ok, m$ is to selling in the world.... put lots and lots of features in the distro and every month something new, but no time to review the source code! free bsd did it, no development just security issues and debug... may rh shoul'd do something like this...

März 2003 02:29 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Is RH8 Ever Going to be Updated? Thousands of patches and kludges later RH8 is functional but well behind the curve. Anyone know if/when RedHat intends to release a significantly upgraded version? (I am sick of wasting time trying to get things to work, or fixing things the updates break.) Feature Wish List: 1. Integrated xsane with complete feature support for common scanners, including the Memorex MEM48U. 2. Integrated E-mail client that includes at least the features of MSIE. (Beonex & Galeon fall short, e.g. neither auto-completes addresses and neither of the address books function reliably.) 3. Integrated dial-up/modem monitor that accurately displays connect, data flow, and other information. (None of the apps I have tried work properly. e.g. the icon shows up but the status lights are unreadable and the pop-up fails -- so no info.) 4. Integrated image and video display apps. Have GIMP and GNOME running, hacked in MTV for MPEGS, but nothing working for AVI, etc. Quite frankly it seems absurd to have to chase down all of this stuff for a product I bought (yes, I bought it) that was represented as a complete M$ Windows alternative. 5. There is more but I have either hacked-in apps, learned to expect a lesser product for the sake of not using M$, or given up expecting certain things to work for the same reason. (Oh, StarOffice 6.0, paid for that as well, still doesn't integrate properly -- not sure if I should blame Sun or RedHat but sure know I should not have to spend hours getting two commercial Linux products to talk to each other! That's why I moved to RH8 from Debian.)
