I don't think so....
I don't know anybody who _likes_ RH 6.1, although most of the users I
know don't intend to even consider switching. Nobody would recommend
5.x instead, although some wish they'd known what they do now and
would have stuck with 6.0 if they had. Minor stuff, like more
autodetects, nothing horrible, tho.

This is pilot error, no? Build your own kernel, prune your own
rc?.ds. AFAIK all the mass-market distributions, including Debian
(dunno Stampede, tho) include far too much stuff in the kernel and in
the rc?.ds. As Linux becomes more modularized (a GoodThang[tm]), this
is only going to get worse, too. :-(
