Redhat 7.3 and 8.0 are not unstable in any way. In the bioinformatics
division at TCS we are using all three versions and a significant speed-up
has been reported for version 8.0 in CPU-intensive and memory-intensive
applications that process huge amounts of protein and gene data.
I know that there have been many negative reports of Redhat 8.0 but we use
it day in and day out and not a single complaint.
Try it yourself and don't let others prevent you from benefitting from the
significant upgrades present in the new versions. After all, Redhat 7.2 is
now roughly a year old. And do remember that the latest drivers come bundled
with the latest releases.
