My business runs on FreeBSD, and I have a critical need to be able to run many Linux programs now and in the future. Therefore the proper functioning of such is worth money to me, and I would be willing to maintain a current RedHat machine to steal libraries, and other config files from as well as negotiating with Linux software producing companies. I can also deal with NDA's if needed to improve linux_lib. Lastly, why can't we automate this by scripted extraction straight from a series of Red Hat packages (the horse's mouth) - let Red Hat manage for us what is the latest linux library/config files of the day? -STEVEl -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Steve Logue http://www.nettek-llc.com/ nettek LLC PC hardware/software sales (541) 582-4602 voice/fax Unix/Windows integration ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------28A153C52CF4A320B443BFCA Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> Mike Smith wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BR>> We dont ??, strange, I've always thought of it as my baby :) <P>Great.
