so, since some of you have used it, i think i'll ask a question or two.
i see that this is redmond linux with a new name. i would never have tried it had i realised, but what with all the rave reviews i am thinking this might be the very thing to replace mandrake with as the 'family desktop' system.
Anyway, i'll be playing with it before i take that drastic step. So:
KDE 2.2, mozilla and so on. Is installation and upgrade of packages going to be easy or hard for me? i know it is easy to do the things you are supposed to do but what if i want to install tarballs, that'll be fine i suppose, but i see that it has rpm support. does that mean red hat rpms and mdk rpms or ONLY redmond rpms? will the 11 CDs of red hat and mandrake rpms come in handy for me or are they going to be dead weight?
GNOME & GTK+ libraries. There's no GNOME so there's no GTK+ i presume. many of my favourite programs are GTK+ ones, so i will need this. again, will i need to install tarballs or can i use rpms, if so need i install the GNOME stuff or can i just use the libraries? and as for the programs themselves, can i install the likes of galeon, gnutella, gftp and gaim on here? or is that just dumb?
and so on.
