It sounds like it's worth it. I'll see what I can do about compiling that shortly. I'll see if I can jumpstart the demo process soon too. > Fedora Core 1's actually not too bad.

I've also heard it's basically RH9 with improvememnts (not a bad thing). It was proposed that we switch to RH Enterprise. The question I posed back to the person that suggested that was when was the last time we actually called RH for tech support. Well, after some pondering I finally just told them: we've never called them for tech support cause we've never needed it (or could afford to do it "their" way so they'd support our efforts). Really a good admin should be able to support him or herself with the available online resources and groups. That was the end of the RH Enterprise notion. I'm really looking forward to trying Gentoo on one of my boxes. All my boxes are SMP boxes and reasonably fast at that so compile times shouldn't be too bad. I'm really looking forward to what could quite possibly be a much better package manager. RPM is really quite lame. If you ever want to really annoy RPM uninstall the very dated version of Perl and all it's various modules that come with RH and compile and install the latest greatest from source. RPM will never forgive you that one. :) I'm looking forward to trying Gentoo and trying Can-It Pro. I can't hardly wait until we're ready.
