Counterpoint: I too am running RH 7.2 (with updates) on several machines - ranging from my 1.3Ghz Athlon to a cluster of SMP 2xPIIIs - many (most?) of them are running Ximian gnome (including, I might add, the Ximian mozilla packages) . I've had them running, under fairly constant use, since about a week after RH 7.2 was released. And galeon is an almost immediate install - though you'll note that I'm running a slightly old version due to the old Ximian mozilla packages. Total number of lockups across the group: 0. Might I suggest that until someone has some stronger evidence that we (collectively) refrain from bashing vendors and instead focus on documenting common trends?

I am running RH7.2 on several different machines, with several different hardware configurations, and none of them have ever locked up. I am running Evolution with Havoc Pennington's packages, not Ximian's. From my experiences with the Ximian packages, they tend to produce unreliable performance. I would not blame RH7.2 for the problems.
