I went off RedHat around the time I took over the kerberos side at a uni.

Needed to patch the RPMs so I started with their source RPM.

Strewth - it had something like 90 patches in it - about half of which 
were redundant (patch corrects problem that was eventually fixed 
properly upstream in the current source file).

Took me about 3 days to pare it down to something sane. Then there were 
the lib dependencies...
