Yeah, does anybody know why red-carpet runs fine on Redhat 7.x but have to be run as root on 8.0? And why did Evolution-1.3 (which presumably also runs fine on 7.x) freeze on my machine after teasing me with the startup screen? Sorry if this is a bit offtopic but - I've upgraded all of my workstations and test servers to 8.0 months ago and I'm paying good premium channel money to Ximian every month for the pleasure of downloading...nothing except the security patches Ximian grabs from Up2Date.
