R: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES

[James Knott]

I've been thinking about leaving Red Hat for a while now.  I'm currently 
running RH 7.3 and don't care for the changes in RH 8 & 9.  Currenly 
SuSE looks interesting.  I downloaded the eval CD for v9 and it appears 
to run better on my notebook, than RH 7.3
