Hi Howard,

interesting list of features !

On the topic of 'going bust' they filed for 6 months protection under French law about two weeks ago :o(

I might be tempted to try RedHat out at some point myself - seemed to work fine on my last Oracle course (O9i NFA). Mind you, I'll have to convince my wife now - I set her up an account so whe could 'learn Unix' and after 10 minutes she said 'can we get rid of Windows altogether now - this Linux thing has much better games !'

Ah well - we try !

Cheers,
Norman.

> PS. What makes RedHat 8 better than Mandrake 9 then ?

It lacks some of Mandrake's nice 'features' (such as Windows partitions having their own icon on the desktop, or supermounting of CD-ROMS). It doesn't have such a nice SAMBA client tool as Mandrake, so (at the moment)
connecting to Windows shares are a royal pain in the command line.
