A person can always use a package manager for enterprise computing to beat time constraints. Afterwards, he can explore further and fine-tune an installation in his free time using source tarballs. Later, he can create his own lean and mean rpms/deb packages for ease of installation, manageability, and tracking purposes (the next sysadmin will be glad with this effort). In this manner, he gets to satisfy the best of both worlds. mikol _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
