The RedHat sounds cool. This is good info. (I might have to see
about running Debian and Redhat together on the same system - 
that sounds intriguing - an idea I got from Vincent months ago).

As far as 7.x not having the 2.4 kernel to me seems to be a non
issue, since it is easy to get the source code when it comes out
and build the kernel then. Just want to clarify this point for any 
newbies. Am I wrong? on the same note though with Debian 2.2 out
and RedHat 7.0 loomig the release of kernel 2.4 before now
would have been convenient.
