Just from a personal standpoint, I don't like RedHat. I haven't installed any version of it since 5.1.
As soon as I saw a customized RedHat GUI for XFree86, I knew I didn't like it at all.
RedHat has just made their version of Linux too commercial. In the world of Linux, it's the anti-Linux.
I prefer Slackware much more over RedHat. Much more "true to form" Linux distro. Slackware 7.1 seems pretty decent so far, except for the fact that I can't install it on a drive attached to my Promise Ultra66, but that's a limitation of the kernal the distro is based on, and none of the distros are using a kernal that natively supports off-board Ultra66 controllers.
RedHat is basically the MS of the Linux world, putting their logo all over everything. I thought the whole idea of Open Source was to move away from the whole "consolidation" thing.

On an long enough timeline, everyone's survival rate drops to zero.
