Probably far more importing is the video card and monitor and whether he's
booted to graphics mode or text mode. I typically use text mode since it
leaves less room for error. You can always start up X once you've signed on
in text mode.

works.

"Evidentally"?. Do a ls /boot/grub and verify it.

Of course evidence of this would be too much to ask and irrelevant to this
thread anyway. Red Hat has a better track record than a lot of vendors.
They've screwed up here and there, but overall 7.2 is fairly solid with the
latest patches.
