I think you are making the error, of assuming that, because this list runs on a redhat server, it has any relationship to redhat. It doesn't. I suspect, just from observations, that most here do not run Redhat. For my part, Rh has proven itself to be less than ideal--I never had a working redhat system up for any length of time--there were always install, or other problems, such as instability, bloadedness, and so on, which I did not have with the others. I consider it the MicroSofft of Linux.
