[linux-help] Re: RedHat 8.0

[Anne McCadden <ironrose@xxxxxxx>]

At first I didn't like the new interface that RedHat 8.0 came up with. 
 I thought that the icons looked cartoon-like and  child-ish.  I felt 
that RedHat 7.3 was more professional looking.  Now that I have played 
with it for a while and got the configuration to more of my liking, then 
it is really nice.  Something that I added was additonal backgrounds 
that I just happened to add in this install and the jpg files are 
stunningly beautiful nature scenes.  I have the ladybugs on one pc and I 
plan on putting the dragonfly on the other.  Of course the nice nVidia 
card makes the jpg files look very nice also.
