On the flip side you also have to accept FC and more specifically RH
have their flaws.  Unfortunately all the testing, packaging and
bastardisation that makes RH a sensible choice for servers also leads to
incompatibilities with non-RH supplied software.

Wow! I didn't realise RH was the oldest distro.  I honestly didn't know
what was but if I had to guess I would have said slack.  I started using
Linux with Slackware '96 which I think was around the RH4 days but my
memory isn't that good anymore :)
