I still remember how many things were broken in that moment (7.3 was considered
the only usable RH for some time, and I have one machine still running it).
RHL 8.0 also changed something at the font level (introduced antialias, maybe
freetype?), so the entire text thing was a minefield.

Anyway, that was the moment which demonstrated to me that Linux was so ahead of
everyone else.
I still fight today with iso88591 and cp1252 and utf16 BOMs and stupid crazy things
which Windows and Java spread around, while everything in Linux always works
perfectly.
