This is news to me. I haven't looked at 8.0, but have noticed that RH has
significantly reduced the included apps at least since before 6.2.
My guess was that they got popular enough to need to cut down on support
calls, so they only included what they knew to work.
Don't know if it's still true, but SuSE used to ship 8 or 9 CDs. If you
didn't have a decent pipe, you could check out all kinds of stuff. Find
something you like and get the latest version from the maintainer. That was
about the time RH cut back to 3 cds.
Where does RH disclaim their included apps? Or do I have a hook in my mouth?
