[ale] RedHat

[Tucker Balch]

I've used Redhat and Slackware.  Overall I'd say I prefer RH.  The LiLO
problems that have been posted here are either problems with LiLO itself
or problems with the install where someone ran out of disk space, not 
with a "RedHat version" of LiLO.

I can't say specifically what is better about RH over SW since I haven't
used SW for about a year. and things change so quickly.  I can say that
on a "typical" system RH is a pretty smooth install.  Laptops are another
matter, but I think SW would have it's own problems too.
