Hmm, I went to Fedora after the EOL on Redhat 9 was announced, which supports just about everything that was going on with the old Redhat series. I think of it as Redhat 9.1. I'm quite happy with yum, up2date and with the JPackage efforts, I can easily manage via rpm's the installation of Java and many Apache Java projects with little to no effort. -Mark -- Mark R.
