I agree - I have been running RH7.2 for some time now, and have just been
bought RH9, the distro is fine, but the months "support" is next to
useless should you need it. One look at the debian clan shows us that if
Fedora is taken up, the help you could receive through news groups or
forums would be well in advance of the current "support" that redhat
offer. Oh, I have tried MD 9.2 also, no faster than RH9 and in my opinion
starting to "hide" too many of the things most of us use in linux for the
benefit of "newbies" - hate that term!. VERY in danger of starting to look
and feel like Windows.
