I think RH 6.0 is _definitely_ buggy. I remember people having problems with
RH6.0 probing the mouse type and and the installation process does not
(probability around 97.223 %) recover from the problem. Groan $@!
This has happened with me too and I found it a pleasure to go back to 5.2 and
upgrade the kernel and other (read loadz) of stuff using control-panel. God
save me, I dont think I have the courage to try out another install/upgrade
using the RH6.0 distro.
Sorting our problems with naughty distros is OK for techies,semi-techies and
quarter-techies (that covers all of us , phew !). But for common people, I
think facing cryptic messages or some thing like "...PGMG. BUG in EXT2FSCK or
SOME BONEHEAD(YOU) IS CHECKING A LIVE FILE SYSTEM !!" or "Ran out of input..
System halted" is not a pleasant intro to an OS. On that count I think, MS-WIN
(I can see a few guns being drawn;-)) does have an marginal edge.... with
common people. If we gotta give "Power to the people", focus needs to be
channelised in this direction.
Indra, you said something llike having probs w/the 5.0 distro.. could you
recollect ?
Love,
PID
