I just finished a MailScanner, SpamAssassin and MailWatch install on a Tao
Linux server. The yum updater made it dead easy to install missing required
pieces of the operating system.

You might also look at http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/. I've heard reports
that this site and list are more responsive. Also appear to have mirrors
closer to you. They don't have a network install available but once you have
the images - who cares.

One nice feature of both distros is that they include MySQL which is missing
from the RH 3.0 release.

You might try to see if and rsync server is listening on port 873 on their
download server. It's possible that the have one running without a password
:).

I've heard rumors that the site in not very responsive.
