Funny, I've got the opposite regard. Plucker has worked faultlessly
for me, while RedHate never has. The recent gcc/kgcc problems in my
LUG didn't endear it to me either.

Guess what? From the look of Mike's posts, it's probably safe to
assume that he doesn't use or particularly know Red Hat, but is trying
the frustrating thing of debugging a problem on a more obscure (to
him) distribution from reports submitted. If you have a real live Red
Hat distribution and know as much about it as you imply, why don't you
lend a hand at squashing this bug, regardless of whether it's in the
Red Hat distribution or the plucker code? At least if we can isolate
it, then it can be definitively laid to rest.
PS - I'm interested to know where you get "most used" from. Many
distributions, significantly Debian, are not centrally sold.
