Hi, all.

Don't forget the all-important "does my intended application actually RUN on
that distro??"  8^)

There are some things that just don't run on any distro that's not RedHat 
based,
believe me.

But, yes, it is good to get a recommendation from more local people, since as
much as anyone can SSH in, if we need another pair of hands at the keyboard it
would be nice if they were familiar with the distro.
