There's nothing wrong with 6.1 unless you review it along
the others like 6.0 and 6.2.
Just the same with 5.0 was still rough, 5.1 was getting
there, but still fast, 5.2 was slower and bigger but
polished.
Of course the window managers are just beginning to
mature... they try some fancy new technology, they finally
get it right the 2nd or 3rd time around.
That's what's good about linux, if one distro strays in a
direction you disagree with, you jump to another one.
The few things about rh6.1 was, sometimes the install was
flaky on some machines... of course RH doesn't polish its
KDE window manager, unlike Mandrake which polishes both KDE
and GNOME plus other window managers... RH6.1 really bugged
me when it kept on pushing for its new PPP dialing setup
which makes it hard for me to add a PPP connection using
netcfg. My common setup for our wan is to set a computer to
automatically dial the PPP server upon startup. netcfg was
fine with rh6.0 and mandrake 6.0,6.1,7.0 but rh6.1 botched
it. Lucky for them rh6.2 made netcfg sane again.
