I recently tried WS Rel 3 and elected to reinstall RH9. Rel 3 installed
ok and ran fine; however, I was disappointed with the selection of
applications available. I use Gnucash and it was missing as well as
others in the multimedia area. As an enterprise solution, it probably
fits well with the needs of major companies but for a home user, it fell
short of what I wanted. I also had a difficult time locating a source
of RPM's built for Rel 3. That may have changed since December. There
was so much missing that I did not want to install from the tar files.
Anyway, I am sorting out the options myself.
