Yeah well... the block is fading over time... I just didn't like the concept when it first started. Part of that was waiting to see how the dust was going to settle since there were like 5+ derivatives once the split to RHEL/Fedora occured, the other part of it was a bit of distaint against redhat because I didn't like how they handled the split. I'm not saying its rational, and I do suggest centos to others. I now nolonger run my own actual production servers, so its not a big deal. I have my dev boxes at home on Fedora, and RHEL at work. Plus it was kind of kewl to expand my horizons to actively use another distribution. There are some things that debian/ubuntu do MUCH better than us (not many that I noticed, but some). And it also gave me a strong appreciation for a lot of the things rhel/fedora do better. this is way off topic. basically it was a personal mental block, i'm not saying it was justifiable (thus the mention of emotion). -greg _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
