I usually stay away from Redhat, but lack of a stable Debian release
pushed me toward Mandrake a year or so ago, and when they started to
wobble (and when I needed to use it on my work machine) I went for
Redhat (8 at work, 9 on my lappy)

I was quite impressed actually, it found all my hardware, including the
Enterasys Roamabout card, the obly thing it missed was the Winmodem, but
then it would wouldn't it.

I have a little problem with it remembering which network device is eth0
and eth1 but other than that it's fine.

[For disclosure I don't work for Redhat]

[And by "lack of a stable release" I mean I couldn't get one]
