Redhat 8.0
Well, I am using Redhat Linux 8.0 right now.
I like GNOME 2.0 that comes in RH 8.0 very much. When GNOME was at 1.2, we could have said that KDE 3.0 was much better than GNOME, but now with 2.0, there is not really much difference, and now it doesnt really matter which environment you choose.
However, the KDE they have provided with RH8 needs some improvement and bug removing - and also the menu hierarchy. I think RH8.1 release will be perfect! I am waiting for that!
Other software that I think are wonderful in the Unix/Linux world, includes (these are not the only ones....)
Gnome Pan - A cool Usenet NewsReader.
Galeon(,Mozilla) - a very cool browser, better than Mozilla in most respects, but there are a few caveats.....in which Mozilla is better.
Gaim - Instant messagner for all protocols
OpenOffice - do all your office work here!
X-Chat - IRC Client
Emacs - Wonderful and Extremely Powerful Text Editor
XMMS - WinAmp clone
GIMP - Wonderful Graphics Editing program, attempt to try to come close to Adobe Photoshop.
Evolution: An Outlook Express clone
gFTP: A CuteFTP Clone
GNU Chess: A powerful Chess Player
pilot-xfer: write "pilot-xfer -b d" on the screen and see your PDA getting synchornized. Can it get eaiser than this?
mplayer: A player of a similar capability as Windows Media Player. Its too good.
cscope, cbrowser: These 2 programs combine to form a very effective source browser. Useful.
...... and there are many more software.... which i cant remember right now. These are mainly all GUI applications. There are, however, thousands of brilliant commandline utilities that make Linux/Unix as great as it is today.
I will post some Redhat screenshots soon. BTW I also have to change my website soon.
