most thing will work just fine. a few will look into /etc/redhat-release and whine if it doesn't have the magic redhat version name. a quick edit is usually all that needs. i did just hear an anecdote yesterday about a program crash happening on centos that went away when the system was reinstalled with real redhat. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
