I have to say I completely agree, if you want a OS that just pops right
in and runs, get windows 95. Not that win95 is much of an OS (IMHO) but
come on, this is Linux, you build it yourself. Most of those problems
described were KERNEL problems. Maybe Redhat could have put 2.0.35 in
there, but that is just about it. The others are package problems,
contact the makers of those. Redhat just put them together, and quite
nicely I think.
