Ohh no no one is using RedHat support it is just the fact that most of the administrators are used to RedHat and I am not going to be maintaining the servers in the long run therefore I wanted them to have something they know their way around. I want something which they can manage on their own, they can upgrade without breaking everything down - and ending up ruining my happiness :). I do a minimal install for the servers anyway other than kernel and perl they wont have much else to worry about. Ofcoure RedHat 7.3 has the notorious gcc 2.96 - no body has been able to figure out whether it is actually broken or not I guess :). > Do you actually need or use RH support?

The problem with ease of maintenance is that I need to give something which will have patches coming out for it for atleast a year - with the way new versions are poping up with all the distros I guess it is a dream for the time being.
