[NTLUG:Discuss] any feed back on RH 8.0 yet

[Chuck Graf]

I changed over to Red Hat 8.0, but I have not been happy with it.  I did an upgrade from 7.2, which seems to be a bad idea.  Maybe a clean install would have been better.  But RH 8.0 arrives without any functional multimedia programs, so I had to install Xine, and Noatun, and (I think) Xmms.  Xine has never worked reliably since, and Noatun is dead, though I have not worked on it much.  All in all, if you are planning on using the box for multimedia, get Mandrake.

Oh, yea, and the new Package Manager is useless.
