Ali, it's definitely worth your while to run Red Hat 7.1 or 7.2 if that's
your goal, because they both come with an apache installation that will
work with MySql, Postgress, PHP, openssl, IMAP...

With the 6.2, you would have to compile your own apache.

Now whether you should buy it or download it or just bring the machine
to the upcoming installfest, is up to you.

       you fail to miss the ground.
