Hello! Correct Chris. However Paul was curious about the term, and naturally I decided to explain that. In fact more shops use Centos instead of RHEL for non-specific jobs, those that they aren't worried about. In fact my distribution Slackware, is also getting ahead more then most people think. But that is an argument for a different place and time. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
