Well you might also want to look at Mandrake 10.1.  It's a
good professional distribution, not a testing battleground

You can't just copy config files, if that's what you mean.
Red Hat has a network configuration GUI that's easy to use.

That's a big problem with Fedora - the docs suck.  One good
starting point is the Red Hat 9 documentation at:
