I think jumping straight to 9 is a bad move on RedHat's part.
It will scare business people away, noone wants to be on the forefront when reliability matters.

We're running RH 7.3 around here cause we felt it was tried and true, while 8.0 was too new.

I guess Sun have gotten away with some funky numbering schemes, going from 2.5->2.6->7->8->9, but then, Solaris is kind of a different beast from Linux.

Oh well, I'll still be trying it out, if only to see if RH has managed to unbloat it a bit, RH8 sucked big time as a desktop IMO.

We're comfortably running 8.0 on production servers.

Their errata is kept current whether it be 7.2 7.3 or 8.0. So there isn't really room for concern in my opinion.

IMO that was a fairly poor review by a relative Linux newbie.

I've read a few good OSnews reviews in the past, but this one and especially the Mandrake 9.1 review (it was absurdly short and content-free) were not interesting.

OS news is garbage.

Anyone hear anything positive about the 'supposed' true multi-threading in 9?

 

[pecel]

Any other review for this?

I disagree, seriously

Running it right now. It's nice -- it feels more responsive than 8.1 did, about the same (maybe a little bit better) than 8.0.

If I can get dual monitor setups working, I'll keep it over XP.

The server is "only" on a 10Mbit connection, so please use it only if you're not having success with BitTorrent. If your connection seems slow, check the current traffic on the server and see how close to the 10Mbit maximum it is.

I only can average 7.5 KB/sec.

Thanks.
