I tried RH8.0 on 3 seperate systems....all failed. System 1): Kernel Lock-up whenever X is stoped/restarted (ie shutdown, logout) System 2): External PCMCIA NIC, a simple Xircom card. Can't get DHCP to work no matter what. System 3): Really a tools issue, Can't get Oracle 9i Client to function. Seg Faults all the time.
After days of effort on each system I re-installed RH7.3 on all of them and the world is good again Guess I'll try again after 8.1........
