Heh. Brother, try getting the Apache 1.3 legacy cruft from Debian
developers who refuse to update because "it isn't broken", even when it
patently *IS* but they're not noticing it, and getting Apache 1.3 running
on RHEL 4 or RHEL 5. Then try hooking Subversion to it as a service becuase
"gee, I can compile it, why can't you?" Ha. Ha-ha.
H-aha-ha-hah-HA-HA-BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-boo-hoo-(whimper).
OK, I'm better now. But yeah, it gets messy.

I've been using Scientific Linux, partly due to the active integration of
hooks for EPEL and Repoforge (especially for the Repoforge updates to tools
like Subversion).
