redhat 5 had a package manager - yes, graphical. It had linuxconf -  
from setting up aliases to ethernet cards, users blah blah. Great  
gui. Actually it was 5.2 that had all the goodies. It ran on 32 MB  
RAM. And it ran wordperfect 5.1 perfectly under dosemu. It had a real  
good filemanager -yes, better than windows explorer. I have the cds,  
so if you want to come and verify it - be my guest.
