I still think that RH 8 is like Gnome2 - unpolished, unfinished and pushed out to the public before it's time - RH 7.3, on the other hand, ain't all that bad...happier installing it on systems than anything else so far...guess I just got more familiar with it's idiosyncrasies and it's work-arounds and can get it up and running in a production environment quicker than the rest...
