A decent release but I'd echo Jason's comments about delays during
errata updates.  Have a look at Tao Linux (http://www.taolinux.org) as
well - I'm running a few things with it and like it thus far.  They seem
to be a bit better organized.  I also like their use of yum to provide
package updates/installation instead of up2date.  YMMV.
