Hey don't knock it!
Although I'm a slackware'r, I've also run RH in the early days as well 
on my desktop, and RH 7.x series (the last before that abomination 
called fedora was intro'd) was damn well unbreakable, I don't care what 
you could have thrown at it, you couldn't get it to miss a beat, that's 
how I'm so mystified at how they fscked things so badly with FC1 
onwards, happy with opensuse on my desktop now though (only coz I love 
gnome, and although there's been movement at the station for slackware 
to bring it back, word is, it wont be any time in the immediate future)
