until a month ago i was using a compaq p75 w.32 meg ram, 400 meg drive for a firewall/router running SuSE 6.0, worked great until the hardware gave up the ghost...hard drive died, mobo would not recognize any thing i had to replace it....
yep, i preordered 8.0 and was very surprised to do a three-click install, it seems about as easy as an install can be. of course i will install again and customize it a bit, but to me it's worth it for the firewall alone (susefirewall2). the firewall is also included in 7.3, but hey, what's 80 bucks? kde3 is much improved as well...
first of all, "RedHat is the M$ of the Linux world" is an opinion, i trust you can see the difference between a lie and an opionion. second, i believe the jury is still out on whether redhat will in the end be successful. i sincerely hope they are, as it will only benefit the linux community. my point is that their whole philosophy seems to have changed once they went public, as often happens when you now have to answer to shareholders.
I have to agree, I switched from RH to SuSE a few years ago, then tried 7.1 for RHCE cert reasons...that lasted a week, now I'm back to SuSE. I'll gladly pay $80 to try to help them stay in business, and it struck me a few years ago (when RH went public) that they seem to be the M$ of the Linux world.
