I did a RedHat install on a test machine on Saturday. It's a very nice Linux
distribution and I like their X11 interface package tool and configuration
tool. I'm going to be switching to it when I get some time over the xmas
holidays. It's called Red Hat 2.1 Commercial, does anybody know what the
commercial is all about and if there are any funnies with licenses and such?
I will stay away from the Debian 1.0 that comes on this set (Not Debians
fault - I'm currently running a Debian system which is very good).
Only complaint about the CD (apart from the Debian 1.0 stuffup) is that the
sunsite CD (4?) isn't contained in a sunsite directory but is spread out
over the root directory of the CD. Also GNU didn't have gcc 2.7.2 and
possibly not 2.7.1 (Not exactly 100% sure about 2.7.1 though) versions.
It even had Drew Eckhart's NCR patches up to rel11+! I'm going to have a big
cleanup and free some disk space.
