Hi allA slightly louder rant, if I may.
A small rant, if I may.
Due to strange circumstances I ended up using RHEL3 (RedHat Enterprise Linux 3. Actually: Centos 3.1, which is a clone of it). This seems to be a bad decision to make:
RHEL misses many highly-useful packages.
To name those I currently miss most of all:
gvim (vim-X11. vim-basic and vim-enhanced are there, though) ncftp lynx/links/elinks/w3m: no text-mode browser in sight. mc gv (ggv is there, though. I'm not sure about kghostview)
In other words: will make your life misserable as a server if you ever want to do decent remote administration.
RHEL ships without mysql server, firewire and mailman, which is quite incomprehensible since redhat.com mailing lists run on mailman.
I was forced to use third party binaries for these packages, except for firewire, which seems to be a dead project. Mysql server is now on the RHEL extras channel, but it took a while before they put it there. On the whole installing RHEL can be quite a frustrating experience.
