Even in your Red Hat 8.0 download edition, you are entitled to use for free up2date on one computer.
Nevertheless, MDK 9.0 is very sweet. gcc 3.2, the new KDE 3.0.3 and XFree86 all make it for a snappier experience (comparing with MDK 8.2).
RedHat 8.0, with same gcc 3.2, KDE 3.0.3 and XFree86, it's also very fast.
One thing about MDK 9.0 that gives me mixed feelings: urpmi / rpmdrake:
- Now its waaaaaaaay faster than in MDK 8.2 - But the GUI version it's waaay less useful: 3 different apps? One for source management, one for installs and one for uninstalls? This is nuts!
So I would like to see on MDK 9.1 the old (MDK 8.2) GUI interface with the new (MDK 9.0) backend (urpmi).
Also, a thingy that worries me: where are my screensavers on MDK 9.0?
