Or cAos 1.0.

Or Fermi Lab's Scientific Linux 3.0.1 (or LTS 3.0.1 but that has more
Fermi-specific RPM's), which I am now testing at $WORK::WIDYONO.
Or TaoLinux 1.0.
Or do what they're all doing: purchase one copy of RHEL, install, install all
source RPM's and pull out RH-specific logs and trademarks, recompile your own
distro, install from that, distribute. But that's for people with a lot of
$TIME on their hands.
