RH6 is going to be similar to F12-13 or so, with, as you say, a few of
the stupidities left out. The currently available RH/CentOS 5.x ,
however is running a kernel that's a few years old, 2.6.18, and the
versions of packages are far older. That being said, several
"improvements" aren't in 5.x, which is a good thing, but conversely,
many programs, e.g. the chromium browser, won't build easily because of
older versions of kernel and various libs.
