My first mail check post RH7 and I'm greeted by a 100 message Why RedHat Sucks flamewar. Anyway, so I try several times to install it, apparently if I try and select individual packages it crashes later in the install. Tried with both text install and graphical. Graphical harfs on my multihead box, since it detects the first PCI card and trys to config for that, rather than the AGP card that's primary, which fails. Switching the bios to make the PCI card primary worked. Anyway, so I had to go with some kind of default install, then go back through and uninstall the tons of crap I didn't want. Fun. I have a feeling it has something to do with the two CD support. Has anyone installed taking both CDs during the install? It didn't ask for the second for me. I went and looked at the packages on it and there was only one thing I wanted, which was wget. wget wan't installed by default. Hmmm... Seems bugzilla.redhat.com is back up so I can bitch at them.

Are any other distros using it? It uses a ".d" type layout, (what does .d mean anyway?) each service has its own config file in /etc/xinetd.d which I suppose makes package management much simpler. It allows binding to certain interfaces, which is good... Its neat, but now I gotta learn it. ;P > Is there anything else in RH7 that they changed? (worth noting) Hurray for > including OpenSSH.
