I haven't used it myself, I'm just echoing others. But the impression I get
from others is generally good. It is RPM-based, which means you can take
advantage of the huge repository of RPMs out there. And it comes with six CDs
full of goodies, so you likely won't have to. :) And they do have a good
track record of getting "new" and "sharp edge" software into a stable
distribution.

Red Hat seems to be flip-flopping back and forth between including rescue
functionality with the install set and not including it. In 6.1, IIRC, you
wouldn't use the install set as a rescue system. In 6.2, you could again.
And this isn't the first time. So I don't know what 7.0 does.
