The beast is out Get it now

Ok, I may start retracting my statements in my first review fairly quickly. I got frustrated trying to get KDE back into shape so I decided to go back to the default BlueCurve/Gnome login and play around some more. After using it a little longer I think I might actually start liking it.
Mozilla is working very well and thinks actaully look pretty sharp. I still think they should have left KDE alone but the new look does kind of grow on you. Hope I didn't scare anyone away. It certainly will be much easier for n00bs.

I just burned Red Hat 8.0 on my only CDs (luckily they are CD/RW) and it wouldnt boot off them.

Burning ISO onto a CD-RW? Forget it.
Master of Reality:
why wouldnt that work?
It seemed to when i installed slackware off one.
The RH 8.0 install didnt work though so maybe you are right. It couldnt find packages or the packages were corrupt er somethin like that.
I will probly buy some CD-Rs and burn it again.

I am calmed down now. I agree that the new Red Hat should be much better for the n00bs. And they did a lot more than just create a theme for both Gnome and KDE (I was under the impression that is all they did). I think the new graphical tools are excellent for the n00b. What's underneath is all I'm really concerned about anyhow. I don't actually use a GUI for much more than opening up a few terminal windows, opening up Konqueror, and Evolution for Email so what's the difference right? Right.
I still can't get the fonts right in Konqueror which is probably the single biggest gripe I have right now. Konqueror used to look much better than Mozilla for fonts in my opinion. In RH8 Mozilla doesn't look much better than it did before but Konqueror is hosed (I hope that wasn't intentional).
So I'll leave my initial review as it is. I have a feeling any RedHat lover would have the same initial reaction I had. For those people who didn't like RedHat before, maybe this is what they were wanting.

quick question whats so important about fonts. does it make a difference in linux?<--- not sarcastic
slave:
voidmain what is wrong with you?!?? It fucking rules! It's possibly the only version of Linux I like. The fonts are fucked? Hell no!! They look great compared to earlier versions of linux. GNOME hasn't crashed on my machine once, not even the panel. You don't like the icons?!??! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!! They look even better than the XP icons. And for once the system tools WORK without fucking up. And mozilla doesn't break up text while scrolling.
Nice job red hat, keep this up and I may consider dumping windows...
