I'm thinking of upgrading my Slackware 3.0 system to RedHat 4.1 (1.2.13 kernel to 2.0). The trouble is I can't decide whether to get the official RedHat 4.1 (2 CDs, book, metro-X and Red Baron) for $49 or just go for the RedHat "power tools" 6 CD set for $27 (Leonard Chan prices BTW). Is there any reason I should prefer the metro-X server over the ones that come standard with Xfree86?? (given that I've only got a plain type S3 video card, nothing too fancy) The RedHat linux users guide is nice I guess, but is it really much use?? (especially since I can ftp it anyway) So what's Red Baron like?? (compared to netscape 3.0) Is it just a browser, or is it an editor or anything as well?? Is it worth the extra $22?? Thanks for any info, Dave. -- __________________________________________________________________________ | . | | _--_|\ To email me, remove the ".NOSPAM" from my email address above | | / \ Rev.
