So RedHat feels rushed to release new versions?  Is that why the .0 
releases are so poor??  I don't think that should be an excuse for quality. 
Why do they feel so rushed anyway, and what sort of updates do they do that 
other distros don't that makes it so buggy??  Haven't used RH 8.0 yet, so I 
don't really have any foundation for any valid arguments either way, but 
anyones input would be appreciated.
