redhat 7.3:
- do not halt the box when "halt" is used
- no sysreq
- kdm has gnome entry whereas gnome is not installed
=> choosing gnome gives a flashing black screen and kdm reruns
- repartition of packages on various CDs is crap
- bootloader: handling of multiple disks is more powerful in redhat, but more
dangerous (proposed to everyone, but not proposed especially to people having
a dangerous combinaison)
- why still asking about lba32!!
redhat 8.0:
(legend: + pros - cons / notice)
Install steps difference
+ firewall wizard
+ md5sum check when booting install
- no upgrade packages installation during install
- no services configuration (chkconfig)
- no printer configuration
- no autologin
- no real small installation
/ still propose non-MD5 or non-shadow passwords
/ post install tool (firstconfig)
General install behaviour, eye-candiness
+ package selection a la Windows
+ in language selection languages displayed in native language
+ candy timezone selection
+ help uses bold/italic/big-font
- no one CD install
/ not using fb at install
/ python + gtk2 vs perl + gtk
/ ask many things before doing anything (esp. delayed partitioning, swap not available when selecting packages!(?))
- more width-hard-coded dialog boxes (harder for translations)
/ use a loopback file from the CD then copied on system
Partitioning
- no diskdruid after install
- no partitioning wizard
- no devfs
- no xfs (but now has reiserfs/jfs)
- no loopback crypted fs
- no file swap (?)
- no supermount
+ LABELed entries in fstab
+ progress bar while formatting
Bootloader
+ bootloader configuration less awkward
- no automatic handling of bios ordering with many harddrives
- propose to manually change bios ordering even with one harddrive
- LBA32 checkbox
/ defaults to grub
Network
- awkward question apropos hostname when using DHCP
- no default choice for netmask/gateway/DNS based on IP
XFree
- no wacom configuration
- no graphic card multi-head configuration
- no ATI tvout configuration
- no prompt for logout after changing X config
- VideoRam prompted for everybody
/ no XFree3
/ no Utah GLX
/ load module "fbdevhw" "record", but not "v4l"
/ always load module "glx" and "dri"
Keyboard
- many non useful keyboard entries (eg: latin0)
- no way to choose the toggle key to choose between latin/non-latin keyboard
- no loadkeys done during install for console
Mouse
- no way to test mouse choice
- mouse choices include many non-useful choices, badly sorted
(Intellimouse must be sought in Microsoft whereas it's used by many others)
Multimedia
- no bttv configuration (including webcams)
- missing audio modules (alsa, audigy...)
