  Don't be for RedHat is terriable although it is what I use.  You see 
RedHat changes EVERYTHING the XF86 configs Inetd configs EVERYTHING is 
NON-standard and if I didn't have as much time invested in it I would 
trash it and use something else.  It has it's upsides but I wish they 
would conform to the linux standards and stop being like Microsux.
