Red Hat 8.0 For KDE Users (And Newbies)

This article, which generated quite a bit of controversy in the comments section, detailed a new user's 'frustrations' with the new release. The latest article, written by yours truly, is rather lengthy, explaining such things as adding 3D drivers, missing MP3 functionality, DVD decoding, using APT with RHL, and customizing Red Hat's modified KDE. At the end, I wrap up with my impression -- as a simple user -- of this 'crippled' KDE implementation. Of course, you can also check out this story, which takes a look at RH 8.0 from 'Joe and Jane User's' perspective."

What if you don't have an afternoon to kill, and you just want something to work so that you can get your work done, and go home to your family?

hmmm ... might want to stick with windows. Two things inconsistent with Linux hacking (1. No free time and 2. a family). Unless of course you are living in their basement.
