My $.02 worth here. I've been using RedHat since the 4.x days. One thing
that I have noticed is the consistent "bugginess" of the X.0 releases. I
found 4.0 a little buggy, 4.1 better and 4.2 stable as hell. Same thing
with 5.0-5.1-5.2 and 6.0-6.1-6.2. When 7.0 came out I wasn't even going to
try it until at least 7.1 and probably 7.2. I can't offer an opinion on 7.0
since I haven't tried it but I have to admit I am not surprised at the
complaints I've seen these last few weeks. I wish RedHat would call them
beta releases until most of the bugs are worked out. At least then our
complaints would be helpful suggestions as opposed to criticisms.

Come on Rev. This is entirely uncalled for. How can you say the whole
release is crap when the majority of the problems reported are simply
things like XFree86 problems that are easily solved by using the version
3.x *PROVIDED*. I think enough has been said on the gcc issue - you should
not be concerned.
Using this logic, next time you stub your toe, you might as well reach for
a revolver. Doesn't make sense does it?
