RedHat used to be good about 5-6 years ago. Back then, it gave you all the
flexibility, but they have greatly changed by trying to follow that other
OS where you can have server up after a few clicks. Stablility sucks to,
and they are dictating the Linux industry standard with their patched to
death distros.

No, but you only configure once, and not for every upgrade.

yes.

You should try the community supported ones, e.g. Debian or Gentoo.

This ReadHat bashing topic pops up pretty often here on TLUG, if you can
access the archives, you will find a lot more posts about this.
