Though, it's aimed more at describing some of the underlying philosophical differences, on the theory that once you "get" those, the rest will fall into place easily. In particular, it seems that the whole differentiation between a "base system" and "addon packages" just completely evades Linux users (not surprising, since no such thing exists in the Linux world). -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
