Everyone else gets stuck in version conflict hell. The wild thing, in my opinion, is that's what we prefer to do as well! So, it's weird to me, as a Red Hat customer, that Red Hat wants to push "modules" and all that, which only make things more of a pain for us enterprise admins.. That said, while those corps may have "deep pockets", please keep in mind that the IT department is generally underfunded at best.. Though we certainly make it work. -- John M.
