Here are the things I dislike or have had problems with in the past day
of running 8.0 as a workstation.

- No menu editor for Gnome2, you are stuck with their poorly organized
(for me) menus.  It uses gnome-vfs, and after 3 hours of research I
still don't understand how to modify the menus.

- No MP3 support, annoying, but Freshrpms.net has a package with the mp3
libraries for xmms.

- Configuring your palm to sync is not possible with the programs,
documentation supplied with the distro.  There is no menu, program to
get to the conduit configuration screen, You have to run:
gpilotd-control-applet --cap-id=1  to get the screen, but the red hat
docs make no mention of it.  I found it on bugzilla contributed by a
user.

That's about it so far.  All the reviews list the pro's so I won't
bother repeating those.
