Oddly enough, they seem to be getting GUI-er (pun intended) all the
time. They've crippled their text install, and put a spin on it worthy
of Windows Genuine Advantage--it is, according to them, simplified and
streamlined--errm, you can't really do anything with it. :)

I would recommend (I haven't seen all emails in this thread, I'm sure
someone has already said this), using CentOS. It's a free version and
100 percent binary compatible.
