I'll agree with Uwe here - Centos is very nice and stable. I've given up on gentoo, ubuntu , and RHEL (any more lock in and they might as well move to Redmond...). ( mainly using Centos as a host for VMWare server since it wont run on FBSD :( , and FreeBSD on XEN isn't there yet, i think... maybe i ought to try Netbsd... ) I haven't touched slackware since 1995 - if it's still so good I will give it a try again _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble. -- Mahatma Ghandi I speak for myself, not my employer.
