>Is this turning into the redhat blindies list? >Chris Hmmmm, if this was a list discussing routers you wouldn't ask if it were a cisco's blindy's list now would ya? Ditto DVD's and Sony/phillips, ditto processors and Intel.... I assume my point is made. Whether anyone likes it or not, RedHat is the top dog in Linux dists. They ship more product than the next three combined. I'm not saying they are the best, I am also not saying they are not the best, I am saying they have the most paying customers for whatever that's worth. They have spent the time and money and they are a certified operating environment for DOD, point at "any" other Linux dist that can claim that. So why the discussion?? I seem to recall a quote from Jesse James (attribution may be faulty)... When asked why he robbed banks his reply was because that's where the money is. RedHat fits that bill, it's where the money is. Cecil
