I'ld be very interested in knowing what updates have broken anything in RH 8.0 . Could you give us a short list? > 1.

Given the fact that mem48u support is currently in alpha condition in sane's cvs, I really don't see how RH could have delivered this 5 months ago. I wouldn't qualify a mem48u as "common". I also would blame Memorex for not issuing a Linux driver instead of Red Hat. It's their job to do it, after all. > 2. Integrated E-mail client that includes at least the features of > MSIE.

Given the fact that none of thos three applications are e-mail clients, I'm a little confused as to the point. Setup Galeon to launch Evolution when you want to send an e-mail and enjoy a product 10 times better than a MSIE/OE combo. > 4. Integrated image and video display apps.

Get mplayer from the freshrpms.org website. I realize it's a pain to do this but Red Hat would get sued to oblivion if it included this in its distribution. > 5.

(Oh, StarOffice 6.0, paid I really don't think that expecting RH to be exactly like Windows is a realistic atitude. It's different (please note that this is different from worse). What do you feel is missing from RH? Maybe we can help you out. Emmanuel -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
