Its about as compatible as is Redhat. THe only 100% compatible RPMs are the ones that Caldera builds. Everything else is a crap shoot, but much less so if you rebuild an SRPM, rather than installing the RPM that company/person X built. > And how exactly would I "rebuild the gcc SRPM"?.

Well, if that's what you're trying to do, you're making it infinitely harder than is neccesary. Install lm-sensors instead. Its what the pros use to monitor temperature/fan speed/ etc in Linux. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
