Fedora has a very short life cycle that may be worth the trouble if you want the latest desktop apps, but for a server that needs to keep running a long time with just security/bugfix updates I like Centos. In any case it is a good idea to put your backuppc installation on it's own disk so when the time comes to completely reinstall a new OS you can just mount your existing archive and go on. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] I run Slackware for the same reasons Mike runs Centos. I also place backuppc on its own drive. Tom ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
