i have a customer in almost exact same situation (only difference is they
have an early, buggy, fp 5.6 and can't update it b/c fp switched to new
glibc). i came to similar conclusion.  won't be putting in rhel anymore
after the mess.  have not cut them over yet - built a centos 5.6 test 
server - but now i see 6.0 (and soon 6.1) are out - anyone play with it 
yet with fp?
