On the contrary, I do use your distribution, have since Red Hat 3.0.3
and thats why I complain :) At work, I run an Intel machine under my desk 
as a server that dual boots RH 7.3 and RH EL 3 and an AMD64 which boots RH EL4. 
I connect to another 32 machines running RH EL WS - and will soon connect to 
many more. But I CHOOSE to run Debian - and support 40 software developers
on my one Intel machine not bound by corporate policies :)

And yes, Fedora Core is too bleeding edge and unmaintained, Fedora
Legacy is overwhelmed and RH EL packages pre-alpha release software in
a stable distribution - GCC 4.0 of 20051212 - _AND_ doesn't package libraries 
useful to a software developer :)

If I'd known you were a DD, I might have eased up a little - but only a
little :)  My work colleague, however, is pretty intransigent no matter
what you say :)
