I've grown more and more disillusioned by the various Linux distributions and their 'select a system profile/UI' installation hand holding. Once you choose your GUI/system profile - they normally run through a preset list of packages that get installed. Openssl should be in place if ssh/sshd is installed, but ncurses? Not by default :-( and definitely not the -devel package (includes, .so, etc). I now install *everything* in order to avoid this problem when I do a system installation. >>> That's pretty basic.

Don't know what that is. If they wish to be ITIL certified, large organizations (like Bill's NASA) running centralized servers use CCB (Change Control Boards) that only allow updates, upgrades, alterations to systems in a controlled fashion - hence their name. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_control_board though it makes no reference to ITIL > > --Ken jerry _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
