redhat 7?

["Scott M. Stone" <sstone@example.com>]

well, I got a new (new to me) laptop, and I wanted to put UNIX on it.
someone had already had redhat on it before me, but the installation was
wiped off it and it only had 98 on it (usable).  So I thought I'd install
FreeBSD.  No way, FBSD wasn't having any part of my 3c575 cardbus ethernet
card.  damn!, said I.  "What about Debian", I thought to myself.. then I
remembered the last time I did a debian install, it took 3 floppies, 2
reboots, and i still couldn't ever figure out how the hell dselect is
supposed to work.  Now I'm pretty good at figuring things out - I figured
out Visio, emacs, xemacs, GNOME, Netware, Cisco IOS, vi, and yes, even the
Palm Beach County, FL ballot, but I could NOT figure out dselect for the
life of me.  It wanted to install EVERYTHING.  as soon as I deselected
anything (including 'deselect all'), it starts spewing dependency crap at
me ad infinitum, and I couldn't get it to just install what I wanted..

anyway, I opted for Redhat (no more TL, last time i installed that I had
to spend 4 hours fixing all the broken shit in it.  grr.. they killed it).
I did an FTP install of RH7 over my DSL.  went PERFECTLY.  picked up my
video and sound no problem (this Dell has an 8MB ATI Rage LT PRO chip in
it, runs 1024x768 24 bit on flat panel, or 1600x1200 24 bit on external).

So to get to my point.. what's broken in Redhat 7 that I should watch out
for, that you guys have found?  I did notice that the pcmcia-cs startup
script runs *BEFORE* ypbind (dumb dumb dumb!).. and yes, I use NIS at
home... so that just required some rc script shuffling to deal with.. but
what else have you run into?
