I support a variety of heterogenous environments (some as rich as Mr. Scott's above). I may use one or more Linux distributions even at one site. I like what different distros do. (Though, of course, any of them could solve the problems.) Finding where a configuration file or two is located is quite minor compared to how AIX does stuff compared to Solaris compared to Linux - disregarding the various Windows variants, Macintosh, etc. I find the differences between Linux distros to be akin to the different layouts in cars. It might take a few minutes to locate the glove box or open the trunk from inside, but we all can figure it out. We don't insist that all cars have exactly the same layout. Why should our Linux distros? As the FHS progresses, we should find more consistency in any event. -- Dan Jenkins ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Rastech Inc., Bedford, NH, USA, 1-603-627-0443 *** Technical Support for over a Quarter Century
