Any distribution I've tried from dwnld'd iso's I've gone and bought. The only 
reason I have not bought OL 3.1.1 is that I can't buy it at a local store. I 
have SuSe Mandrake and once RH 7.3 is on the shelves will probably buy it as 
well. As far as using RH's update, its been a no go. I had to import my CUPS 
setup from mandrake in order to have a bjc 600 (a well supported printer 
under CUPS) work on RH 7.3.
