I've decided to hold off on 8.0.  When the mirror sites traffic slow 
down I will download the ISO's and put it on one of my computers.  I am 
interested in seeing how RH's bluecurve works.  But, I probably won't be 
pleased because I use KDE alot.
Also, I was disappointed to read that MP3 coding doesn't come with XMMS 
anymore, RH has decided to drop it.  Although, you can fix that yourself.
Also, I download Mandrake's 9.0, just haven't had a chance to try it out.

FYI, I was having trouble with xcdroast not starting from the menu. 
 Turns out it was a bug in the 7.3 release.  I edited
/etc/security/console.apps/xcdroast and set SESSION=true to make it work 
from the menus.

Get rid of your dual boot system and try one with 37 OSes.
