Distributions always leap-frog each other. The last one released typically has better support for newer video cards. Software is changing every day and new hardware support is being added regularly. If ZDnet reruns their tests in a month or two, they'll get a different answer. > Also, they knocked linux for having bad fonts when web surfing.

Out of the box, Linux sucks for a web surfer compared to Windows. The user is forced to go through some extra steps just to get fonts that make a web site look decent. Should a user who just picked up a copy of Red Hat Linux at the local CompUSA have to go to Sourceforge and search for fonts just to display his favorite web site properly? I'll argue that they should not. I'll also support the argument that it's not completely Red Hat's fault - part of the problem lies in the fact that we're dealing with free software and nobody wants to pay to license fonts, and (a larger) part of the problem is web sites that are designed for IE and nothing else. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
