Well,
I'm testing Rh-7.1 for some problems I'm having at home with Mdk and my PC.
Indeed at the moment the differences are:
Topics Mandrake 8.0 Redhat 7.1
------------------------------------------
Scanner NOT working Working
DVD NOT working Working
SCSI sys NOT working Working
Network Working Working
NVidia NOT working Working
Desk Env. Perfect Good
Programs Many nice programs Quite enought
So, I really don't know. I like Mandrake since 5.x over all other
distributions, but I need to use my hardware!
Me and other talked about the scanner problem. It was ignored.
Xine is old, something other don't work. Even xine won't compile.
Some tools are missing even selectioning ALL categories during installation,
I mean, for example, nslookup and traceroute, pine and so on. I mean:
nslookup, traceroute and ping are even present in Window$, now I cannot find
it in Linux?!?!?!?!?
XcdRoast (ok, even if only root can use it, it's always better than nothing!)
is not in the distribution and gcombust is in the second cd...
Moreover, people with aic scsi subsystem cannot install Mdk-8.0 on their
machine (I had to use my dvd for installation...), and I suppose that 90% of
scsi controllers are "aic" controllers.
NVidia drivers and Pine are not included in distribution for their license.
OK, why then do you release Netscape? Should be coherent with it.
So... when 8.1? ;(
Claudio
PS) Sorry, I know you made a great work. But I was waiting since 3 months for
something that now is not usable at 100% but... let's say at 60%. How many
people are in this conditions?!?
