Rhel 5 is rather new.

Server virtualization, apache, samba...

Honestly I don't care too much for RedHat.

It's what it is, and it is rather good.

Using a package management system, for me - I have always broken them, and I and up with file overwrites, and stupid stuff... so I just use tar balls instead. Build from source.

Other than that, RHEL5 RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 is a very good OS.

Nice features, most everything works right out of the box.

Great for servers in my opinion.

This Doc I have created here is literally for reference.

There are many services on RHEL5 that make it rather good for being all within the same Distribution.
