Put blame where it belongs...

MP3 support is due to Fraunhofer licencing.

Nvidia drivers is due to Nvidia licencing.

DMA support, extra menu and NTFS support I agree is things RedHat should fix. But they can't do much about the rest.

I think Redhat is still dumb as shit regarding KDE. Both X and GNOME-2.2 have not yet been released as stable versions, so they could very well have added KDE-3.1rc6.

Did you even bother doing basic research before flapping your yap?

ncftp ...en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS > pwd
ftp://beta:PASSWORD@ftp.beta.redhat.com/pub/redhat /linux/beta/phoebe/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
ncftp ...en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS > ls kde* ...
kdebase-3.1-0.9.i386.rpm
kdebase-devel-3.1-0 .9.i386.rpm
kdebindings-3.1-0.3.i386.rpm
kdebind ings-devel-3.1-0.3.i386.rpm
kdeedu-3.1-0.3.i386.r pm
kdeedu-devel-3.1-0.3.i386.rpm ...

Looks like just another "Red Hat is eeevil" fool.

Why don't you check your facts before posting?

1) As others have pointed out, this is a *Beta*, RedHat 8.0.92 to be exact, so many things can change between now and when 8.1 is released
2) This beta actually *includes* KDE 3.1(RC5 or CVS I guess) see http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=redh at or check the RPMs in the FTP, or install the damn thing!
3) This is *exactly* the same as with Gnome, the beta includes the latest Gnome 2.1(from CVS I think), that by the time 8.1 final is released will become Gnome 2.2(and the same is also true for XFree 4.3)
4) KDE on RedHat is/was not "crippled", I will not bother arguing about this, but if you think the version in 8.0 was "crippled", then doesn't mater what version they ship in the next release you will think the same.
5) You can be sure that RedHat 8.1 final release will include KDE 3.1, you may think that it's still "crippled" though...
(BTW, Gnome 2.2 and KDE 3.1 are both looking very good, I'm sure RH8.1 will be a great release, even better than 8.0, and 8.0 was already very nice)

Hope this sets some facts straight, BTW, I don't even run Linux or KDE/Gnome on my boxes(I administer a few RedHat desktops running both KDE and Gnome at work though), I love my FreeBSD box with Ion, just hate to see people spreading misinformation.

Best wishes and do some research before you post next time!
