# Mozilla 0.9.2

huh?
i don't understand why they would use that mozilla version

anyway, i noticed that on the new features page they listed KDE3 before Gnome... so maybe Redhat will finally choose KDE over Gnome like so many other distro's already have

# Mozilla 0.9.2

Can up2date be used to install new packages or only to update existing ones (is it as powerfull as apt-get on Debian?) If yes, I'll give it a try.

May be KP knows but as far as I can check with man up2date, there is no option for updating versions ( unlike apt-get dist-upgrade ). May be there is ( as I said, I have never used it yet ). As far as upgrading packages, it works well. I have never had a problem since I got my 7.2 in beta ( later upgraded with a CD ROM version ). Red Hat networks is usually busy for us non-paying customers but which is understandable since I'm thankful that they offer free service at all ( usually works great at night times ).
