I find myself unable to recommend RHEL to anyone.  Red Hat has a history
of ignoring their engineers and making boneheaded decisions that break
functionality or create more problems than they solve.  (Three examples
off the top of my head:  blind rpm evangelism; gcc 2.96; Red Hat's
broken gnutls library.)
