I have switched from Linux FT to Redhat. The RPM package install
system was worth the switch for me. I am no programmer so installing
an RPM package beats compiling the source anyday. Redhat also seem to
be pretty quick to have updates available on their site and its many
mirrors.

Just my 2p's worth.
