[plug] Opinion : RedHat 7.3 First Impressions?

[Tim Bowden]

I have been using it for about a week or so now.  I like it, but I liked 
7.2 so long as I didn't try to switch desktops/ w/m's and expect happiness 
and light.   As far as the gui goes, it seems lots of little things have 
been polished.  The sort of things that can be minor annoyances but you 
live with anyway.  I am only using for a desktop machine, i.e. no services 
like web, mail, samba etc. so I can't comment there.  For me, it is fine.
