Hi,
RH 8 tries some of the debian atp-get trick also. Its package manager now
gives what is installed & what more you can get from the full installaltion .
So if you do not installed some thing you do not have to search the 3 cds for
it the package manager tells you to install the correct cd.
I also tried debain though not 3 but 2.2 r 5 which is good but in my option
debian generally supply a little versions of the softwares.
