Ximian is effectively a fork of its own. If you apply Ximian over RedHat, you may have a much more "intense" experience with future upgrades of Red Hat. Read the 7.3 release notes, section titled, "Distribution General Notes", on CD1 very carefully for a broader discussion of this issue. I used Ximian over 7.1 and liked it very much. However, my upgrade to 7.2 was, simply, a horror show. I tried Red Hat's options 2 of doing a RedHat upgrade and then reinstalling Ximian. I had a completely unstable machine. I had to tediously uninstall all the Ximian packages (using KDE), and then do a reinstall of Red Hat. Not a lot of fun, I assure you. As I say, I liked Ximian. But upgrading, at least for now, is not ready for prime time, IMHO. I'm quite happy with RedHat's out of the box Gnome install. -- John P.
