On RedHat I use apt for my updates with synaptic for the front end, though I almost always use apt from the command line. Easier and faster. I've done a lot of kernel upgrades that way and haven't had any problems. The yum updater on RedHat is really terrible so I don't recommend it. There are lots of repositories out there where you can get apt and synaptic for RedHat like www.freshrpms.net or www.fedora.us. Dalin ps. If this message shows up twice I apologize. Had a little mix up sending mail through an ssh tunnel from work. Rather than ssh forwarding port 25, the local sendmail daemon was running and catching the send request instead. The spam filter likely caught the original since the source IP would have been unresolvable. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
