“RedHat 7.2 is actually pretty good. It’s biggest boon
is the ext3 file system, still experimental in the Kernel though.
There were a few extra features that helped administrate the
distribution quite nicely. Installation was a snap although the
full install was huge. This seems to be a trend in most Linux
distributions nowadays. The up2date GUI stopped working after
applying updates. I wouldn’t rely on it. Download the updates form
their ftp site or one of their mirrors. All in all it is still a
really great distribution, my preferred one. Despite the problems I
have discovered it is still a great distribution and definitely
worth purchasing. Compared to other similar distributions it is far
superior quite stable. The latest release of popular programs is
always a nice touch.”
