Re: Red hat 8.0

[Jason Stephenson]

I use it on my laptop and don't really care. I'm not into pretty GUI things for the most part, so it doesn't bother me. I don't use my laptop enough to bother changing it. Though, I do have my root desktop very simple: no window manager and a xterm as the controlling process.

On my workstation, I use blackbox which is about as minimal as a window manager gets. It just manages windows and has a simple menu syntax for creating root menus to start your apps. Very CLI-friendly.

I don't mean to start a flame, but I am curious if others find Red Hat 8.0 desktop a little too cute. I can understand why it is nice for people just moving to Linux from Windows, but the default desktop has a feel to it that seems a little too cute and keeps one at a distance from the meat and potatoes of the system. I'm sure that can all be changed, but I did a basic install just to play with the distro and this was my dominant impression upon first use.
