You'd have reason to be wrong then (: [ missed off the last post ] # cat a | md5sum - 6e360a338f7abc7d52dbdcc94568e220 - 3.1 is the latest version of sarge aka stable. edge / testing is the equivalent of your latest SuSE 10.1, and unstable is at about the level of Fedora 6. I do all my releases from sarge, 'cos it's then guaranteed to work on just about all linuxes as I statically link most things. For me, that's it's only use: as a lowest common denominator. If you write your scrips for sarge, they'll run on just about anything. It's up to you to work to the system, and not the other way round. A lot more people with far more experience than any of us put them together. Change your mindset, and program to the system, not change the system to your program. Steve
