My first impressions (clean install - Workstation) were one minor bug in 
the install when setting the root password.  The box came up but I 
couldn't click into it to type anything, clicked back and then next 
again and it worked.  One other problem was I browsed our Samba server 
fine from the desktop and accessed my home directory, but OpenOffice 
locked up badly when trying to double click on an Excel file to open.  I 
kill -9'ed it and opened OpenOffice and did a file>open on the same file 
and it opened fine.

One thing I'm curious about, is there a task manager type application 
for X?  As that would help a hell of a lot for newbies when they had a 
program stuff up, because opening up an xterm and doing a ps and kill -9 
isn't something a newbie would exactly be capable of.  I didn't see 
anything from my brief look at the standard RH desktop.
