PCQuest did not come out with RHL 6.0 (but Chip Special did).  Did
PCQ/CHIP/DQ/PCW
force you to use RHL 6.1/6.0/5.2? They were trying to save some six to ten
day downloads.

You are free to choose your distro and os, like me I use slacware 3.5 with a
new kernel (2.2) for
my qmail based email gateway, whereas RH 5.2 for a dialin printshop server,
and RH 6.1 for my other
machines (two of them where I do DTP, word processing etc), but the email
editor is still Outlook
for Win95 for compatiability with other office-staff.
