Red Hat 7 Infested With Bugs

TBHiX writes "Apparently, according to reports on [1]bugzilla
and on [2]linuxnewbie.internet.com, Red Hat 7.0 is being
described by some people as one of the buggiest distros
they've seen in recent history." Red Hat's point-oh releases
have been historically been pretty bad over the years, so I
the only thing that surprises me is that people didn't
realize it before they downloaded it. The point release has
typically been fine, but the bugzilla report lists over a
thousand bugs: 200 appearing this week. Take this as a
warning folks: didn't 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 teach you anything?
*grin* But a DB with 2500 bugs in it doesn't necessarily mean
a buggy distribution either.
