RHCL is also NRPT (not ready for prime time) from two reviews I've
seen.  I have not tried to install it, but I was not impressed with
the file system organization.  It's a good package, but no better than
Slackware according to the reviews, and costs a lot more for the Red
Hat version (as opposed to the beta/trial version that you get on the
Infomagic---no, I don't know what the differences are, I presume
customer support).

However this is a fast moving field, and they may very well be the
best thing in Linux at the moment; my information is about 3--6 months
old now.
