Actually, it's not hard to download the packages and install from
source. (./configure ; make ; make install isn't much harder than "yum
install" and it's more likely to work.)
However, the whole reason I prefer Linux over Solaris is that Linux
comes with a good userspace, not because the Linux kernel is all that
good. (The big thing Linux has going for it is driver support.) As the
things that I expect to be "just there" start to disappear, the
advantages of sticking with Linux go away.
