I have one complaint (today). It seems like Red Hat has changed a lot of
"normal" Linux command line terms to their own propriety lingo. Example:
yesterday I swapped an English keyboard for a Spanish one. You'd think
the command to type at prompt to get Linux to know what keyboard it has
hooked up would be kdbconfig. Nope. It's something like
red-hat-keyboard, I think. Up pops a nice GUI for Joe Average. But...
they really hosed me b/c I was RTFM and it did NOT work. I had to
RTFRHM. 

Just that. I do really like my Red Hat, overall. And, I am Joe Average:
10+ year WinDoze user making the migration.
