I've got the netbook remix, solely because it is built for that, and it does things like *not* ever removing older kernels, so my boot is currently listing about 6 or 8; I've manually had to remove them in the past, and will have to again. I also really dislike their equivalent of grub.conf - it's a long, long script, with stuff buried in it, and it calls a bunch of other files, rather than the simple, clean one in RH/CentOS. mark
