I was a very strong RedHat supporter back in the day. I loved every 
release they did, well, except 7.0, but the rest of the 7 series were 
nice :-) And I never had much problem.  For some reason Fedora never sat 
well with me. I still highly suggest RHEL, or RHWS or whatever they call 
it now. The naming changing gets annoying, and the licensing can be 
confusing, but I always get it working and its solid for years and years.

Didn't know you could do a yum update to the release... Huh... Maybe 
I'll have to try that on one of the devel 4.x boxes, see if it upgrades 
to 5.x? Or is that only for the point releases?
