While Zdnet and Gartner are not all that OS neutral, this is a classic.

This article reviews RH9 Professional.

The outcome of it is that RH9Pro is _too_expensive_ .. At ~$230 for an operating system with integrated just-about-everything including office software, it is "too expensive"?

Red Hat 9.0 is a boon for those who already use it, but it's too expensive to warrant a switch from Windows.

Unbelievable. No matter what the merits of RH9Pro Vs Suse, it is so much better value than WinXPpro+WinXPofficepro+[new hardware] it is just madness to say it's too expensive to switch FROM M$.

I personally don't use RH*, I prefer Knoppix and Debian and even Mandrake (for newbies). 

One day someone will grab guys like these by the throat and give them a damn good shake. Hopefully soon.
