limbo?
« on: 30 September 2002, 02:18 »
hmmmm. strange name for an OS.
I mean inlimbo is not a good connotation -
so just limbo - means out of?

heh heh.

Ok - question - I've a new machine
av266-ex mobo and 2gb ADM with 512mb memory.

Do I wait for redhat 8 or install 7.3 as is?
In fact 7.3 is going on right now! sofar without
any hassles - busy setting up security etc..

Do I upgrade to 8 or leave as is or reinstall..
Doing a reinstall is so bloody quick and easy
it won't matter at all.

What will be the benefits except for testing the
new bluecurve GUI? any ideas??

Tx.

previously I installed 7.2 and upgraded to 7.3
without problems.

But 7.3 runs KDE 3.
So what will be the effect of upgrading -
I know it's premature to ask seeing that limbo
will only be released tomorrow!

But maybe someone around here has some more info.
