My post wasn't an attack on redhat, merely the observations of a former redhat 5
user.  Looking at your host mask I understand why you feel the need to defend
redhat,  but don't be so defensive.  If you have read any of my previous posts you
would know that I believe we all benefit by having several quality dists to choose
from.  I love SuSE, hence I subscribe to this mailing list to offer and recieve
help related to this outstanding distribution, and as a general source of
information I might not get otherwise.  I was careful to mention that I wasn't
attacking redhat.  The last thing this mailing list needs is a flame war.
