Hardware site CPU Review has just posted its review of Red Hat Linux 6.0 on an AMD chip, but says its support for sound cards still leaves a lot to be desired. William Henning, the reviewer of the package, also said he thought it was a shame that the price of the software has risen to $79.95. But on the positive side, Henning says that the stability of the product is excellent, while it is given away with a stack of software. The review recommends that if wannabes wannabe happy, they should stick with a SoundBlaster 16 or 64, and other standard components. Go here to see the review, which uses an AMD K6-2/400 part as its microprocessor core. ®
