I have to add that having just installed RedHat 9.0, it's really nice. There are some really slick things they've done (cd burning in nautilus is one of them) and the interface is just more refined. I really like it. Heck you can even set up the network interfaces from a nice gui. Kudos to RedHat. A lot of improvements are subtle and under the hood (like the 20 kernel with some of the scheduler stuff backported, the native threads implementation that boosts performance, and the newer XFree86). Heck even NVIDIA has a driver out already for RedHat 9. The only thing I'm waiting for is Codeweavers to update their wine products to run with the new glibc libraries. I have to agree about questioning the messy part. Personally I use that word to refer to installing windows. Windows 2000+sp3+hotfixes+officexp+norton av (Standard install for chemistry) is very messy. Takes 4-6 hours. Sometimes there are problems. Anyway, if you have specific concerns please mention them and we'll try to clear them up or find suggestions for redhat to improve.
