Red Hat 8.0 is amazingly solid with one critical exception... RPM has a nasty race condition that causes it to completely fail in some instances, necessitating a kill -9, deleting some lock files or reboot in order to regain RPM functionality. I would wait for them to figure out this problem and supply updated packages before trying Red Hat 8.0. I think this will be sooner than later as IMHO, this is the most critical bug in 8.0. I will let everyone know when this is fixed. Warren
