But, like all the later RH offshoots, there are problems with some 
hardware. One annoying little problem is Kudzu "killing"  a 3Com network

Same with Mandrake 10

RH9 works very well, and if postings to this list are any indication, 
very trouble free.
I have a friend who is using RH8  also.
Neither of us has experienced any of the noise problems mentioned
If you have something working, LEAVE IT ALONE!
Really no need for "the latest and greatest" .
For me, Linux is simply a means to an end.
