Red Hat 7.1 experiences?

[david at thekramers.net (David Kramer)]

I'm going to do a tabula rasa on my server this week.  Fresh install on
new hard drive.  It sounds like Red Hat 7.1 blows 7.0 out of the water
(2.4 kernel, better install, more services turned off by default), but
it's still in beta.  I'm a little nervous about that, but would feel
better having gotten some feedback from others who have tried it.

At the same time, my server is a P233, so I'd like to get as much
performance out of it as possible.  So I thought of using mandrake
instead, so everything is compiled for Pentium instruction set.  I'm
nervous about that too, though, because I have not been able to get
feedback from anyone what happens when you update it with plain old Red
Hat RPM's wrt paths, etc.  In the past I've asked this here and gotten no
response.  If anyone else has tried it since, though, please let me know.
