Depends on your hardware. In three tries, I haven't succeeded in
installing Red Hat yet (but I was doing some unusual things, like (a)
FTP install in 1995 before people figured them out, (b) using a funny
Japanese network card that by default uses the same IRQ as the
BusLogic SCSI hosts, and (c) a PCMCIA + network install).
Not to rag on Red Hat, just to point out that you may get unlucky next
time around. But you should stick with a winner until it breaks,
unless you just like the adventure (or are a beta tester). Among
other things, if you're happy with your hardware, the next hardware
you buy is likely to be similar, so the same distro should work well.
