I eventually got used to Redhat's way and have a love hate relationship with RPM/yum. I used Debian for a long time too and liked apt-get over yum for a long time. Ubuntu's changes are about as annoying to me as Redhat's were. Apt-get/yum are about equivalent and both can get you into dependency hell but they work for the most part. I haven't liked the changes in Fedora with Gnome lately either... switched my desktop to cinnamon instead. I want my start menu and virtual desktops... I don't want a desktop that wants to be a tablet. JD -- JD Austin Voice: 480.269.4335 (480 2MY Geek) [email protected]
