Thanks for the info. I understand but don't necessarily agree. Why put it off? I have 100% elf machines running in different environments and one as a production server. I have only had a few problems with the boot loader and the elf kernel at the beginning. I 'm using the standard complementary programs, compiled as elf, X11, samba, shlight, tac_plus, apache1.3.3, squid, mysql3.22 and everything works better than expected. Everyone should be very proud.
