What an exceedingly cute answer, considering that RH is one of the most hated distros, and considered very broken :)... but... I guess that if you have really never been in depencency hell, it's fine for you... but I can't remember if you *have*... "I believe they just installed Gentoo Linux."

Weell... things *should* work pretty well *if* you use only official RedHat RPMs... but still, it's a lot more trouble than with a real package management system. "I believe they just installed Gentoo Linux."
