RE: new Redhat 9 and Red-carpet

So RH9 is a complete solution and has no need to function correctly with any outside apps to meet all of the reasonable needs of all who pay them money for their OS? Ximian didn't change things RH did so it follows that for the sake of happy customers (read: those who keep them in business) it wou

Isn't Ximian Evolution a *very* commonly used app? Are you saying that it is unreasonable to expect RH to test to see if their latest OS release actually *worked* with commonly used apps? Are you saying that it's unreasonable to expect RH to provide a minimal level of backward compatibility (say

Be very careful not to acquire the digital camera until you have installed and tested Linux on your PC. All versions of Linux suffer from USB conflicts such that many USB devices cannot be successfully addressed. Once you get Linux up and running OK then buy your digital device from a list online

That's encouraging. Sounds like M$ ... or the government ... customers can pound sand. Release a buggy distro then follow it with buggy patches and then string them along endlessly. Is RH8 so much like the voodoo code of M$ that they can't write a development plan to get 8.1 out on a sked? doc

Printing png Files
