I'm sure the OP meant RHEL 6, and not RH 6 [yes, I realize you know
that two and are just making a point about how it pays to include
accurate info when asking for help.]

The OP probably doesn't even _know_ that there was prior product line
called RedHat Linux with a version 6.  [Kids these days!]  IIRC, I
started with one of the "holiday" RedHat Linux releases before they
were numbered.  I think it was "Mothers Day" or "Holloween".  The
first numbered release I remember was RedHat Linux 3.something.  RHL
was pretty good up through the 6.x series, but 7.00 was utterly and
famously shoddy [at that point I switched to Mandrake].  RH 7.00 was
so notoriously bad, I'm surprised that they didn't skip "7" entirely
in the RHEL product line to avoid the bad memories...
