My opinion which I doubt is worth even 2¢... - More eye-candy. I personally could care less about eye candy. I know most people like to have their PC look all nice and beautiful and interesting. I'm the sick sort of whacko that likes to make their PC look professional (no backgrounds, neat folders and menus, and no wingdings and cookythings dancing around the screen.) That's just the personnal opinion of a whacko though. Perhaps eye candy would appeal to those users who are deep into Multimedia, music, and movie editing, and more importantly the plane old home users who likes flashy setups. Might be a smart marketing move to get more people using RedHat as a desktop/workstation. Not at the price of stability though. Only hire the starving artists if you can afford to do the rest to the same degree as always. Look what sacrifice got Mandrake... problems.
- Newer servers. Agreed I want Postfix POSTFIX POSTFIX POSTFIX (by default, or as an option at setup, not that I can't replace it anyway...) - More crypto. I want Nortel Networks to make their GD Contivity client for Linux... (that's not RedHat's mission by any means so you can pretty much disregard my rant on this one) - Office tools. Both Star Office 5.2 and Word Perfect 8 work on RedHat 7.1, and I would assume any future version. Sure it's not an RPM but both are easy to install. And Star Office can open up to and including Office 2000 documents (and possibly even Office XP documents.) So with this maybe SO5.2 isn't the best but it's a damn good start destined to improve with time like a fine wine... (speaking of which look at my added section below...) besides I try to remember that RedHat is an OS developer not an Office Suite developer... it's hard to request that they develop a huge all functional office suite out of thin air... but then Microsoft is an OS maker with a close knit office suite... and if RedHat wants to compete with big satan then mayhaps they should make the same moves for the same markets and just do a better job for free... (well charge for support, I understand you are a company trying to make money afterall...) or charge much much much less for you office suite than microsoft. $49.95 for a good office suite isn't too much to ask... i almost threw up when i saw how much office xp standard UPGRADE would have cost me. It made me so mad I uninstalled Office 2000 on my windows partition and installed SO5.2... - WINE Development OK, the day I can play Everqeust without Windows I can truly be free of the evil that is Windows... I have a level 45 cleric of Bristlebane whom I have devoted many days of my life to (literally) and I am not giving that time up for Linux... this is Sony's fault too for not building it for Linux as well, but WINE could be a solution too... That's my request for the next version of RedHat whether it be 7.1.0.0.0.0.0.1A or 8.0 or 10.0.
