I am also happy with the fact that there are no deps issues when installing third party packages, as long as those packages' deps can be satisfied with the packages that RH bundles on the CD. All works very smoothly and this was indeed my biggest gripe in previous RH releases. I also like the fact that TTF font can now be "installed" systemwide by sticking them into $HOME/.fonts<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... not bad. Still not able to use them in Gimp though that way.
While I am at it: My Other gripe is fixed now, too: The ugly fonts are gone (even in OOffice)!
Only "serious flaw" that I ran into this far is the fact that RH now uses UTF-8 ASCII encoding and that caused some non-printable characters in various man pages and using licq. Furthermore, it prevented my beloved Adob Acrobat 5 (acroread) from starting at all. I got around that by editing<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/sysconfig/i18n and throwing out UTF-8, replacing it with an ISOxxxx-x set.
