I really have nothing against RedHat. My first was slackware, before there =
was=20
a redhat. Because of that I'll always be a slack fan. At work I sell RedHat=
=20
and SuSE only, because they are pretty user friendly. I do think SuSE is mu=
ch =20
better on the easy-to-use end, but RedHat is still very good.

Nowadays I only use my own linux. Take the LSF, package everything in slack=
=20
packs, and you have Arcanum Linux...=20

Which is what goes on all my servers.

I don't dislike RedHat at all.
I do, on the other hand, dislike rpm's...
But that's more of a dependency issue.
