That's odd, my Red Hat servers have been almost like appliances. Not perfect, but all the problems I've seen could be dealt with.
I've seen worse problems in commercial unices, e.g. unixware - yuk - and hpux.

They do break new ground, and are often the first distro to implement new technology.
You have to know the red hat pattern:
x.0 release: New stuff, interesting, buggy x.1 release: A passable cleanup of the bugs in .0 x.2 release: A smooth, polished, evolution of .1
