ClamAV is a good idea everywhere! :) As for repositories, Dag builds good packages for RedHat. Personally, I prefer to build ClamAV from source. This allows me to keep as up-to-date as possible without having to wait on the packager to build each new version. Clam builds very easily on RedHat. I haven't used Mandriva, but I wouldn't expect any problems. -- Bowie _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
