Hopefully soon sometime; RedHat 7 is a terribly buggy distro and they really should release something with less bugs :b

I could not agree more..I mean, RH7 is on
my Linuxbox right now,and it works fine..but
it's awaiting the update cd's, as I have
gotten the Deluxe Workstation on Sale from
our pals at CompUSA..but! A look at the
webpage errata leaves one cold..ALL-ll those
%$!@ing bugs! Egad..didn't Linus say the
compiler was shot, as released? With the
potpourri of bugfixes and updates in place
everything I use (save files;Web;Printing)
is OK..but when I see Debian, Slackware
and Turbolinux 'vet' their releases much
more carefully, why can't RH? On-The-Shelf,
Get-It-To-Market, my foot.
I like the box design, tho.

I used to run RH6.2 a while back, and was super impressed by it.

Unfortunately, I can't say the same about RH7. It does run stable, but there are bugs that prevent us from installing some software (KDE, GNOME). up2date is unpredictable, you never know if it's going to help or break your system.

I can't wait for RH7.1 or 7.2 to come out. Although I dread the thought of having to reinstall and re-download all my apps.
