or make yourself an easy lining and use Debian. It has all the things of
Red-Hat, with the only difference: they work properly after configuration 
(RedHat 5.0 is nice approach to make Windows out of Linux. User friendly
fstab editing tool, I mean. In my opinion it's junk, but it's mine one, I 
don't want to discuss it). What I do wnat to discuss, is that when you
know something is not ready for workstation market, you must <b>know</b>
it first. So just for your info, try Debian. It is the Right Thing in
linux community (but too elite to be common, you don't get version
number, but name, for example, he he he)

P.S. Debian 2.0 is going to be out in VERY near time. You should give it
a try:):
