All I know is that I tried downloading it at my parents' place,
where they have a DSL connection to the Internet and the download
kept timing out before reaching completion.

The reason I tried it at my parents house rather than my own
is because they have a better CD burner than I do.

Slackware, on the other hand, I was able to download at my
parents house, and burn to CD. In theory, I in general like
Slackware better than RedHat, but there's a few kinks I need
to work out in Slackware before I can switch to that, and I
haven't yet had a chance to get around to doing that.

Well, it could be that I was over-sensitive, taking comments with
innocent intent and mistaking them for insults.

BTW: If Slashdot withdrawal is the problem, have you
tried the Slashdot Dermal Patch? ;)
