AFAIK it is still about the same. Some of my co-workers are hardcore
RH fans, and they use it for some reasonably "mission critical"
servers (CVS repository hosts). They are upgrading to RH 8.0 (I
think....8.0 is the latest, right?) this coming week. They will
backup, reinstall RH and restore backed up data.
