    And it has a poor selection by comparison to Debian. Very simple
things, like IceWM, are not available. Also, you cannot upgrade reliably
between releases. Try RH8 -> 9. There have been many reports of that
dying horribly. 
    A repository without good QA is just not equal to the Debian
community.
