Interesting. I'd use it for demonstrations and proofs of concept, but not for an actual deployment. While it is certainly *exactly* the same code as what you would find in your garden-variety RHEL3, it's not going to impress Oracle support, the folks at QLogic or Emulex, or most of the other enterprise-level hardware and software vendors. Names are everything to those people, and even if it happens to be 100% binary the same as the official RHEL3 (which I don't doubt for a minute), Oracle support still won't listen to you. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
