Pointless rant: Red Hat Enterprise Server sucks!

[Mike Garfias]

RH puts many things in /etc/sysconfig that belong in either the top  
level /etc dir or their own dir under /etc (ex: /etc/apache/)
granted some are in the right place, but at best its an inconsistent  
mess

also another bitch:
wtf is /etc/sysconfig/networking and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts?
why not one dir

its very non-intuitive.  With my experience I shouldn't have to hunt  
for things for a few minutes, it should be obvious.  Solaris never  
confused me like this, nor has any of the BSDs (tho the BSD init  
process bugs the shit out of me).

I should also point out that 99.999% of the time I'm doing server  
stuff.  And a lot of servers at that which means I use lots of  
scripts and configuration management.

And don't even get me started on up2date and/or yum.
