Average Rating:

Rating: 3 out of 5 - Red Hat 9 is good, but not great.
There are a lot of different "flavors" of Linux out there, many of them free to download and install. Price aside, there are many Linux distros that are more user-friendly in terms of installation as well as things "just working" like they should.
Other possibilities a first-time linux installer might consider:
Mepis
Mandrake/Mandriva

Physically installing this product was an even greater difficulty. I could not find this in a 3.5" format and had to upgrade my PC in order to be able to run the CD. After re-booting, I found that the CD was not mounted and that the software ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 - Don't Be Confused
What follows is the review of someone who has more than 25 years on both sides of the Unix/Windows line and who owns no stock that would benefit from the sales of either.

When you read all the reviews below, you might get confused, with ratings from 1 to 5 stars and the obvious pro- and anti-Microsoft commentary (this IS a Redhat review, right? Why do people feel compelled to throw in the Microsoft jabs? Very juvenile!) - so if you're among the confused, let me help you out.
