Yes, don't confuse RH to FC. you talk of never using the configure script. You also talk to be using up2date. How many well integrated packages does RHEL cover ?? How many platforms does RHEL / FC support ?? How many note leaf does RHEL require ?? But still RH has it's own advantages. It has brought GNU/Linux to corporate standards. Even though not using RH/FC now, I like it. rrs ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
