Works well, but a bit old


This, works well if you have a Unix/Linux trained sysadmin to set it up. Once up and running it just works, and keeps your costs down in the long run.

However, it shows that the included components are a bit old. Modern Linux usually just work even without a skilled sysadmin to set it up. However the excellent support makes up for this.

The next version, of the redhat desktop will probably be very close to perfect when the bleeding edge stuff from fedora has settled into a maintained and supported form. Even so version 4, is very nice to have while we wait.
