I hear all this RedHat bashing from people, but I must say I like it.
It as much or more than others I have tried (Suse, TurboLinux,
Debian, Caldera). Plus the whole installer is very easy to
customize. You can make a kickstart file and have it set the basic
system settings for you. You can edit the comps file and control
what packages you want installed in different setups. You can update
the packages on the CD (if you have a CDR) and not have to change
anything else on the disk..you can set scripts to run on the system
after the RH install is done - chrooted or not.
In fact, I have modified a RedHat CD to create an installer for a
turn-key mult-domain server, with different ftp and mail servers than
come stock, all the necessary updates, etc.
It is s breeze, it is highly customizable,and it WORKS. The only
problem I have ever had, and this is the same for all Linuxen: if
you have some bizarre video card, getting X running can be a pain.
And Kurth - and I have seen you get RH installed when you couldn't
get anything else going on it....so you may redact that statement...
FWIW, though, I too am not pleased with the $$ based motivations for
releases and the crap included with RH 7.0....that is why I use 6.2,
with the updated RPMs, and the perpetually insecure software
(sendmail, wu-ftpd, BIND) removed [start of new flame :-)].
