An you are what exactly. A can of gas in the fire pit.

RHEL is only as good as the FC it come from. RHES4 has some 
significant problems that should have been fixed in FC3, but 
due to the acrimony of the developers in this list towards the 
users in this list, the problems never got fixed. I can only 
hope that some day management in RH will look at the archives 
and fire some of the developers for making excuses instead of 
patches.
