right. thats why things that work fine on all otehr versions in pre 
releases of FC4 sudenly  break with an official relase, and not forget the 
isntaller debacle.

no, you can use the other OS of choice in many  ISPdata centers and the 
like, slackware :)  I opted to keep RH9 as the last RH OS, all since then 
are slackware, oh sure i have  FC1 and FC2 on couple desktops because  FC 
is beter suited to desktop then slackware, but for servers or stability, 
you wont beat RH9 and slackware....but in keeping with RH related in the 
free world, shame ppl have to 'downgrade' for reliability and stability.
I have lost failth  in RH being a true versatile OS, its only good for GUI 
weenies, ahhh reminds me of that other OS from redmond, in fact ive seen 
stabler XP boxes then FC4 boxes lol.
