It's a combination of factors.  But for me, I think a lot of it is a 
desire to A. use the latest and greatest, combined with B. apathy
about upgrading machines.  So each machine I build or install gets a 
fairly recent distro, while other boxes lag.  Hence my firewall
running RH9 and my laptop with FC6.  And as soon as FC7 Test 4 ships, 
I'll probably put that on. :-)

Also in my case; all 3 of the distros I use (RH9, Fedora, CentOS) are 
all Red Hat based, so they're very similar anyway.


TTYL,

Phil
