i love to see this answer by david. the best way is sources. even you'd prefer sources for additional features.. redhat packages donot come with every features enables, as it happened with me in the case of samba which i needed to run with ssl. also distros(particularly redhat) avoid many more libraries, one i could say is aalib which allows me to view tv on a terminal upto some extent.
