Sorry about dup post of the question. I hit Browser back and reposted in error. I had some issues 8, with video and mouse support. (All resolved via config changes) I'm upgrading to 9 mostly due to it will be supported longer than 8 via RH support. Also these new features:
Linux Kernel 2.4.20 *
GCC 3.2.1
GNU libc 2.3.2 (with NPTL)
Web server powered by Apache httpd 2.0 *
* what I care about. Also I will be installing BEA WL 8.1 for J2EE support to play around with.
And
New graphical configuration tools:
Personal firewall tool for dynamically adjusting security settings.
Peripheral configuration tool for graphic configuration of devices.
Display configuration tool to adjust resolution and placement.
And Just because I can: to see what its like LOL
