Red Hat 8.0 Released
I_am_Rambi writes "RedHat has released their latest OS, 8.0. Here is Red Hat's ftp site for download and some mirrors. If you need help there's a Howto." Jeet81 adds: "Red Hat is out with a new release, Red Hat 8.0. Looks like Red Hat is moving towards the windows XP style using its new Bluecurve graphical interface (the new default email client 'Ximian Evolution' looks a lot like MS Outlook)." So what's the verdict on Null or Bluecurve or whatever it's called? Good idea, bad idea?
The mirrors have been either jammed or not updated since Monday. Now Slashdot posts links on the frontpage. I'll never be able to get the ISOs.
"Real men use Debian"
That's right... All 3 of 'em do !
Aww, c'mon now! Five disks isn't that bad. That's only a little over 7 meg. I remember when a full Slack distro was over 30 disks...
What? What's that you say? Five what ?
Ahh - My eye!
The doctor said I'm not supposed to get Slashdot in it!
Real men make their own kernel with nothing but a ball of string, a hammer and the instruction manual from a Norelco shaver.
But you can't tell young people that today. They are too spoiled. Why I remember hacking a copy of OS 390 onto my TRS-80 Model 1 using a 4 baud modem running Morse Code emulation. I used the RPG compiler to build a damn refrigerator. You try and do that with a sissified Make linker today and you'll be drinking warm milk that's for sure.
Nurse, I need a thumper.
If you aren't part of the solution, there is good money to be made prolonging the problem
It an attempt to look even more like Windows, the next RedHat release will incorporate the new "Bluescreen" theme...
