Redhat 7.1beta

[John Abreau]

I just finished installing Redhat 7.1beta on a test machine. I did a
custom install, and there were a number of improvements over the 7.0
install.

Most notably, near the end it provides several simple firewall rulesets
for securing the workstation. I selected the "Custom" set, and within that
I allowed DHCP, http, and ssh traffic. All other access is denied in this
ruleset.

DNS isn't working, probably because I didn't think through the firewall
settings. Aside from that, it's looking pretty good (to the extent that
one can tell from a ten-minute perusal).
