I agree with Matt...  but let's not start the 'OS wars'.

I am able to edit any damn config files I want (I think I've been using 
the same httpd.conf for the last 4 releases and all SuSE ever does about 
it is to tell me that 'you've modified httpd.conf and you'll find my 
file in  /<path>/httpd.conf.SuSE".   It doesn't touch anything that's 
been modified.

I've never met a RH release that I liked.  (and there have been about 3 
different ones.)
