You might also consider taking a look at CentOS (www.centos.org). It's designed to be 100% compatible with RHEL 3 and 4 and we've been running CFMX and BlueDragon off it for many years now. Basically what they do is take RHEL, remove anything proprietary, then release it to the general public. CentOS is also freely kept up to date with patches with YUM. I'd recommend CentOS over the fedoras because of the more extensive testing and the longer release cycle. -- Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ Blue Dragon Alliance Member [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:249294 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
