All joking aside, VA Linux's 6.2.4 is actually pretty decent, although the libs
are getting a little outdated compared to RH 7.0 or the pre 7.1.  My biggest
gripes are that a couple things have moved from where I expect them into 
powertools, but aside from that it works pretty well, and is quite stable.

Most of the reason I switched back was because Xfree 4.0 was nice, but it kept
having some nasty crashes while playing UT or Q3.
