I can't answer the question, because I don't know. The reason
I don't know is because I don't really care. I had hoped that
linux_base-7 could be installed on top of linux_base-6, but
apparently it doesn't. This is Red Hat brokenness AFAICT,
and as I said before, I'm not really anxious to solve problems
Red Hat didn't bother to solve themselves.

For example. Using a different distribution might also make a
difference. I choose Red Hat because it had the best overall
support. Chances were that if something run on Linux, it run
on Red Hat.
