Agreed on Caldera. However the install for RH 7.3 is arguably on par with Caldera's. Much better than before. It has worked flawlessly on the 3 machines I've installed so far. And as easy as Caldera's. > How can anyone stand Mandrake's installation program though is a mystery > to me. I don't find that its hard, its just so bloody long.

It's confusing. It's is circular in places rather than linear. And in other places it's hierarchical. And takes forever. I find it to be the worst of the mainstream commercial distros. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
