1.  It makes evolution easier to install, (at least used to)  I'm
running ximian gnome and like it.

2.  Install whatever you want, the ximian install takes out all the
relevant RH packages, to make way for ximian.

3. Ximian uses RPM, you will notice their packages are named like:
mozilla-0.9.7-ximian.2  so they play fine with RH rpms that are not
gnome related, now if you use the RHN to install programs that are
installed by ximian I don't know what you would get, I presume a mess.

The RHN will complain that your system is grossly out of date, something
like 400 packeges need to be updated, it doesn't recognize the ximian
packages as being up to date, so it's kinda a hastle to find the
packages that you actually need to update from RHN.  Red Carpet has a RH
7.2 channel which I assume has the non ximian conflicting packages for
RH, but it's as quickly updates as the RHN.

4. dunno.
