Technical Review for Red Hat Linux 9

Posted by michael on from the what's-in-it-for-me dept.

  1. This is the worst review I have read yet by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is the worst review I have read yet of the new Linux distributions coming out. It talks about features that WEREN'T EVEN INCLUDED IN THE RELEASE, such as ACPI and a graphical boot screen.
    Shit Windows XP would even get a great review on Slashdot if you included non-existent features.

    There is no doubt now, at least for those who wish to use Linux for more than just a server, that Mandrake and Suse are clearly better. I'm wondering if Mandrake's bankruptcy filing gave some of their developers a good kick in the ass or something, because they did some great work with this release.
