and this is why, girls and boys, I would never touch a *.0 Red Hat
edition with a 30 meter pole.

RHL8 has been out less than half a year, and has caused:

functionality breaks due to beta builds
functionality headaches due to Unicode incomplete support in apps
functionality slowdown due to Unicode bugs (grep for instance)
Configuration breakage with old versions, upgrade path was not smooth.
a few security holes that could not be avoided
didn't check, but maybe a few sec holes that COULD have been avoided.

and now you tell me the updates themselves take up about 600 meg?
youch!

better install Debian sid, IMSBO. got newer software but miracleously
better stability, and none of that premature Unicode voodoo.
