[PLUG] Reviews of RedHat 8.0 - is it worth $150?

[Bill Thoen]

After fighting all day trying to install Red Hat 7.1 on a brand
new Athlon XP1800 and having IDE bus problems (drivers don't seem
to work), we were wondering if it would be worth just snagging
the $150 RedHat Professional 8.0 CD set from CompUSA (y'know
support the good guys and have it NOW rather than slooowly
teasing off the FTP archives.)

We do want server capability, but are the improvements worth the
price? Is it going to install on this hardware anyway? Any
caveats about doing this that anyone here is aware of?

TIA,
