Red Hat Linux is good but what I hear about it now, is doesn't suite my requirements.
Experienced Red Hat users will know that the company abandoned MP3 and DVD support with the release of version 8.0, citing uncertainty over the licensing as the reason for dropping built-in support. Xine has also been excluded in version 9.0, but it takes only a few minutes and a functional Internet connection to add these to a working system.
Licensing squabbles with nVidia also mean there are no new 3D drivers for owners of GeForce or TNT cards. Users have to download and install the appropriate drivers for the kernel they're running. While this isn't a major disappointment, it's still a hassle. Linux distros will never be able to stand toe-to-toe with other operating systems until they come with support for standards like MP3, DVD video and nVidia GPUs straight from the box.
