Yes, I do have a clear need for this. My company is specialized in 
providing Linux solutions for professionals (mostly small town halls, 
schools, public libraries). From time to time, I give one of the various 
consumer grade distros a spin, but I always seem to come back to some 
RHEL clone on desktops as well as on servers.

More often than not, I have to perform installs on hardware that's quite 
old, if not completely outdated. The sort of dinosaur hardware that 
nothing - short of a meteor strike - can kill. CentOS 5 is still 
churning away on one of my client's PIII-500 with 128 MB RAM (recently 
beefed up to 256 MB). Of course, most of the time, folks ask for decent 
hardware. But I like to still be able to install a decent system on 
older hardware.

Cheers from the sunny South of France,

Niki
