Personally I am very shocked at RH's quality, it is as bad if not worse
than MS IMHO. And it doesn't end there.... we also get Support from MS
and as we have Sun servers as well, Sun, then add in HP for tru64 boxes
and RH is by far the worst performer of the lot in terms of release and
patch quality, and their support, well......
Having used Debian for 8 years, Solaris for 5 and having to use RH for 9
months commercially the difference is tremendous.......
I am seriously looking at Suse, at least with Novell down the road I
have someone to kick locally in NZ. Dell NZ/AP suck for RH support and
RH in the USA just do not cut it either.

The computer software world has a lot to learn, while I agree with you
up to a point....In a QA engineering environment you trust the item you
install as being fit for its purpose, you do not need to test it, its
QA'd. In turn when you release something as QA'd in turn the person
downline should be able to trust it is going to work.

See my comments above.....
