[ale] Hosting, RH vs. RH vs.

[Jay Loden]

Go with the RHEL server.  Debian will be way behind, and Fedora Core for 
Tektonic was still FC1 when I signed up (I have one server with them running 
FC1 and one with RHEL) They may have it up to FC2, but either way, it'll be 
way behind.  RHEL is the most up to date, and it now has yum available for 
some package management too.
