Pointless rant: Red Hat Enterprise Server sucks!

I can sympathize.  It would be nice if redhat's cli/ncurses equivalents
had all the same functionality of the gui ones.  It's seems a little
silly to have them but they only do part of what the gui one's do.

One really bad example is network profiles.  You can set them up with
the system-config-network-gui applet but not the
system-config-network-tui.  And it's next to impossible to do right
manually because the documentation on RH's site is woefully
inadequate--at least the docs I found.

As for yum--it's gotta be the worst hack I've ever seen.  having used
apt for a long time--even on redhat--yum is horrible.  Yum is much
better than nothing but still woefully inept when compared to apt.  apt
on rpm based systems isn't as good as apt on deb based systems--but
that's mostly because rpm is not as good a package system as deb.

So yes, RH based systems annoy me too but it's better than administering
windows.  It's all a matter of perspective.
