redhat hasn't moved config files around for years. A minor thing but I'm
tired of hearing 3rd generation redhat gripes that refer to ancient
behaviour being mentioned as current. The most recent bugs that have hit
redhat (openssh, apache) would have affected ALL free unixes running those
programs anyway.

Though any free with source Unix is cool, they all do things with
different ways to suit peoples preferences whilst remaining close enough
that ideas and bugfixes (and most concepts and learned skills) can easily
crosspollinate.
