I have nothing against RPM per se, but I have yet to find the distro that has a large selection of RPMs for general purpose packages that are kept up to date. It's probably a good plea for the LFS, because most RPMs won't work on more than one distro. I would think that you could setup a fairly simple system for replicating gentoo systems as well. I haven't looked into it, but it is possible to build binary packages with portage. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area Gentoo 1.4 system _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
