While RedHat may not be standard and is rather annoying at times it is the
simplest and most usable out of the box. I also get upset with the way things
are setup at times, most of all when I need to upgrade a package and no RPM is
avaiable. And there is no reason that RedHat could not go through and re
configure the RPM's to conform to the natural locations for files. However
don't knock a system unless you can create a better system. They are widely
used and again I can upgrade without need to re format my disk and re setup all
my software. This is the key, they are not always upto date and may have some
holes that need patched but it is resonably priced and allows for the upgrades
that others haven't allowed for. I still use RedHat and I also use find and
grep alot when problems arise but my system also run with little trouble and
are a snap to maintain....
