Ignorance is bliss. Most folks voluntarily using RH do it cause they
don't know that anything else exists.

I'll go there. The more installs of 3.1 (server or wkstn) that i try
the more annoyed i become with the products. Seems to have a very
narrow hardware compability set, and performance is quite poor. I
installed on 3 SMP boxes, and for some unknown reason it failed to give
me an SMP kernel on 2 of them. I've tried 4 wkstn installs, and its
bombed out on 3 of the 4. I've since replaced it on the 4th with SuSE
as I was quite sickened by the perpetual POS that kde2 has become. Its
rather disheartening to think that i was once one of Caldera's most
vocal supporters and now I can't in good conscience recommend their
product to anyone but my enemies.
