Yes I agree RH/FC is quite lacking from the version to version upgrades. I really feel that one should only install once and update from there on. Debian and Gentoo are nice in that way. However yum and apt-get, (for RPM) make the upgrading less painful. So I would say the upgrading wouldn't be that different maintainence wise comparing to upgrading Gentoo, (until the next RH/FC version comes out then things can get messy). All in all the whole thing boils down to each distro has its strengths and weaknesses. No distro is perfect for everyone. Upgrading and installing falls into these categories. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
