Re: [tlug] advice to consider upgrading to RH9

["Sanjay Chigurupati" <Sanjay.Chigurupati@example.com>]

Hi,
I have been using RH9 for a while. Cant really say about comparing 7.x and
9.

If you are using RH 8 and planning to move  to 9, I would say its worth it.

Its more stable, faster and the graphics are crisper. Its not much
different from RH 8 except for the previous points.

They did make a few minor changes in the menu which makes it more
convenient.

Apart from that, has kernel 2.4.20 and subversion (similar to cvs).

I find it very stable and little faster. GUI requirements might be higher
(check on this)


The other thing is that it fixes the video incompatibility problems with
the Nvidia onboard video display on Asus motherboards ( Newer version of X)

looks like most of add-on rpms are available for RH9, but I would check on
them before deciding to upgrade,


Yahoo messenger for RH 9 is not available yet. You might want to use the
web version.


Bye,
Sanjay
