But linux_base is a repackaging of the various linux shared libraries into yet another package. Why even bother doing this, if this all is already pre-packaged by linux folks? CentOS also uses rpm/yum, just like Fedora. The difference is merely a repository string for yum. I am not sure if this will practically even make any difference at all, stock Fedora vs. stock CentOS. I can install any rpm package in fewer lines of code than in a Makefile of linux_base-c6. User side done this way works like a charm. Most work is to implement missing kernel features, and some yet unexplained malfunctions. Missing futex operations being one of them, but there are quite a few others. Yuri
