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.
