I have just recently install Redhat 7.3. I think they have taken a lot of the installation and configuration pain away. I had done previous installations of Redhat 6.1 and even though I am an old DOS user I still had a big learning curve. They have covered up the complexities with a decent GUI interface. The nice thing is that you can still get "under the covers" and play with the config files directly. I have been using 7.3 for about a week and like it a lot. The one downside I can see is that as they make life easier the box needs to be much bigger than it used to be. My full installation took a little over 2GB and the GUI runs a little sluggish on a 350Mhz with 128 MB of Mem.
