Chris, Since I doubt there will be a big need for RHL 6.2, I can bring it on CD and that can free up space for something.

Good question. A couple of reasons: 1) It is a very stable/solid release that runs well on older hardware. While 7.2 is solid & stable, it doesn't run well on older hardware. 2) 6.2 supported the sparc platform. 7.x does not. > Some people prefer Mandrake. 'Drake 8.2 might be nice.

Ximian Gnome seems to be a hairy animal to mirror. As I understand it from my limited experience, Ximian wants you to install Gnome via Red Carpet. I've tried doing it with just RPM's before but without success due to the huge dependency list that needed to be satisfied. > I'll be bringing one of my alphas and a sparc IPC (if I can get a new > ROM) to the Installfest, just to see.

Will be sure to bring Alpha & Sparc binaries. -- *********************************************************** | Rev.
