People who post stuff like that rarely can identify what their issue  
was. Last *serious* redhat/fedora problem I can recall was the gcc 2.96  
thing. Oh - and RH8 shipped with a gnome that would go crazy if you  
made your panel go vertical or added a vertical drawer.

9 time out 10 when I have come across a seriously messed up system, I  
find that the user has replaced half of the vendor supplied stuff with  
3rd party (less or no QA) replacements, forced installed stuff opposed  
to resolving dependencies, etc.

And of course - there are always the slashdot trolls - who post just to  
get reactions.
