Greetings!

We used RH 7.0 for the winter interem semester Linux administration class.  My
students and I found the configuration tools (basicly Linuxconf) to be
incomplete.  Many times we had to resort the the HOWTOs and vi to get server
tasks to properly run.  We are now working on an information kiosk project and
have decided to use Slackware 7.1 as the base.

One major drawback of RH 7, the binaries produced by RH 7 won't execute on
other releases / distributions because of library inconsistencies.

Methinks RH 6.2 or Slackware 7.1 may be the warm setup.
