Please check:

	http://www.redhat.com/products/software/linux/pl_rhl7.html

for a package listing of rh7. In summary:

	- like 6.2 +
		- latest gnome stuff (say 6.2 + helix gnome)
		- stuff that has been missing for a long time due to whatever
		  reasons:
		  	- mysql
			- openssl (+ssh)
		- XFree86 4.0.1
	- better (matter of opinion) config tools etc...	


Later,

Jason Nicholls
