redhat.com Redone

Posted by justin++ on from the redeux-part-two dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Red Hat has re-layed-out the site yet again. Looks like an attempt at a portal, but only internal resources. IWNSM (it would not surprise me) if future versions of Red Hat had netscape and lynx's default home pages set to redhat.com :) " It looks quite a bit like Yahoo. The GeekToys section is a bit timely, too, if not a bit heavy on Nerf.

  1. All the world's a Mac by Tom+Christiansen · · Score: 3

    Fetch the raw document with wget or lynx -source, or from netscape do a "view source" on that page. Now, look at the javascript gunkola at the top. They assume that if you're not running Linux, and you're not running Windows, then you must obviously be running a Mac! That's hilarious.

  2. RH 6.1 - NS Home Page IS Set To Redhat.com! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3

    It was done in the /usr/bin/netscape script as a forced command line parameter when the browser is opened without any other parameters. Even setting the NS home page internally had no effect, since NS won't display the homepage when one is passes as a parameter. I didn't appreciate having to track this down and fix it myself.

  3. Still no Mailing Lists archives on Redhat.com! by savaget · · Score: 4
    My biggest complaint about the RedHat site is that it does not have an archive of their numerous mailing lists.

    As you know an archive of mailing lists are a great resource and time saver if you can search through them.

    I had to look elsewhere to get them. Moongroup.com has a great Red Hat mailing lists archive.

  4. If you want a bare bones, powerful search... by coreman · · Score: 3

    All the power of Altavista with none of the chrome. Great for Lynx users.

    I agree. I want to be able to find the latest info on their products in 2 clicks or less.
