I'm afraid that I can't agree with you, here.
I've been running Red Hat distributions on my servers for the last 5
years.
The bugs that have appeared in the programs distributed in Red Hat's
packages have appeared in the same packages distributed in every
other distribution, Mandrake, Slackware, SuSe, etc.
If you're willing to keep up with the updates, which, from Red Hat or
any other Linux distributor, are packaged far more frequently and
quickly than for any Microsoft product, you're fine.
As for getting Red Hat Linux running on your hardware, I'd submit to
you that first, you should double check the Red Hat hardware
compatibility list, to make sure your hardware is listed as
compatible. If it turns out that your hardware is not compatible,
then you really have nobody but yourself to blame for the inability
to run the system. And if your hardware is listed as compatible,
then as for help, rather than simply blasting the company who,
primarily, packages this Linux distribution...they don't write all
the packages contained therein.
