Re: Gnome menu edit

Same for me. However you can't stay at 7.3 forever with all the changes with gcc going on.
So a bit of enlightment from RH's side about where the distro is heading would ease my
headache. I believe that RH should generate a new sub-Personal distro from the current
8.0 tree and call it migration or whatever. And then please offer a set of RPMs to bring it back to
the well-known standards base we knew.

I mean there is not much choice in the real pro distros here. From my point of view Debian
is the only one coming close.

But these are just my ? 0,02.

No, I think you're pretty much right on, but why switch distros? Why not just retrograde back to 7.3, upgrade the kernel to the latest stable, and run up2date?
I love KDE so I had a hige problem with what RH did in 8 and thought it was going to be too much work to restore a true KDE environment, so I reinstalled 7.3 last weekend. 7.3 with updated kernels and updated packages is where I'll remain.

Fair enough. Is there a date for when the

facility will make it into an

update? So far it seems that RedHat has tried to

make 8.0 appeal to

Windows users by removing choices and flexibility

(no gnorpm, no

kpackage, no ability to switch from one

GNOME-compatible window manager

to another using a GUI as in the past). Am I

misjudging RH 8.0 in this

respect? (I'd like to use it on the rest of my

Linux boxes, but this is

sufficiently irritating that I am starting to

think of switching

distributions.)
