Rather unsurprisingly, he got it completely backwards though I wouldn't suggest that Scientific Linux adds chop and crud. CentOS is essentially the cleanest, closest rebuild of RHEL that is possible - as they say, bug for bug. They do have a CentOS Plus repository which does have different build options but it is disabled by default so you have to want the changes to get them. Scientific Linux takes all sorts of liberties with build options and even their build system doesn't attempt to produce compatible binary packages - not that I am suggesting that it's a bad thing - just a completely different philosophy than CentOS. > Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
