Be aware, if you go the RH route, that RH 9 is the last version of RH as a 
desktop release.  RH in the future will only be a mucho dinero enterprise 
server version.  RH will be providing much of the personpower for the fedora 
project.  Fedora will replace redhat.  It will be a completely free and open 
desktop OS.  It is intended to be more cutting edge and less stable that the 
costly RH releases.
