Hi Ann amd Toby,
Ann, Bill Acker has told you this--and apparently you didn't fully 
believe him.  Redhat has a full text mode installation option--I don't 
know how more plain this statement can be.  Secondly, you can do a 
custom installation with Redhat which is neither Workstation or Server.  
I think its unfair to tar Redhat because you had bad experiences with 
versions many revisions back.
