Yeah but I like the fact that RH doesn't change stuff all the time.
With other distros you have to reinstall every year or so or you're
left in the dust. That would drive me nuts. I was running RH 7.3 for
something like 3 years. And after I started having problems installing
stuff I could keep things going by recompiling .src.rpm packages for
Fedora (something I don't think an apt based distro can even do).
