While up2date provides some of the functionality of apt-get, it doesn't provide everything (Can I upgrade to a different version using up2date ?) > The problem here is that Red Hat Linux 6.2 does not include OpenSSH at > all, so it cannot be updated.

Correct, and a Debian distribution w/o OpenSSH would have the same problem. > The difference is in the way the distributions are managed.

We do paint with a broad brush stroak don't we. OK then, show me how to point up2date at a different repository? Or better yet how to setup my own up2date server. Yes, I'm a Debian user, I'm also a RedHat user, both have their advatages and disadvantages and one of the advantages of Debian is that the packaging system is a little bit ahead of RedHat (nothing that can't be fixed with apt-rpm so I hear). --rdp -- Rich Payne http://talisman.mv.com ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
