Someone suggested Fedora on the hardware and CentOS in a VM.. That
works best if you're doing the RHCE..

However, you can also upgrade the kernel and yes, a few things don't
always work quite right.  Most notably, if I build the stock kernel I
usually have to go back and tweak filesystem settings, sometimes some
/dev entries don't appear, etc.. Nothing catastrophic, but takes a
couple builds to get right.   The other option is to grab the
prepackaged kernels from some of the devs.  They do a great job of
packaging the latest, but then you miss out on all that fun of
watching your drive LEDs blinking like crazy.

BTW, you can download the RHEL6 trial..
