I would urge you to read up on RedHat 7.0 before installing it. They have
included some code that the developers consider mid beta. Their reasoning
is that it will become mainstream, it is stable now, and getting it out
will find the rest of the problems.

Deciding that because my friends didn't have problems I won't either is
not a great idea. It is best to look into the problem as then you often
find not only a true rate of incidence, but what causes those
problems. One that my reading has noted is that bianaries compiled on/for
RedHat 7 will often not work on other machines because of the libraries
that were added which are considered beta code.

I wouldn't let the fact it is beta make me run though. Consider speakup
itself is still in bbeta stages. Some software is never released from
beta.
