I think Redhat has something called rpm-update, but I have never tried it. That service you have to pay for, I think. There is something called rpm-find, which kinda works the same way as apt-get, i.e. it searches and downloads a package. Again, never tried it, so really don't know how it works. The big difference, AFAIK, is that Debian store a lot more packages. With Redhat, you can get the base install (that comes with the CD), but for the rest, you would have to go for third-party sources. Not a big deal, since when I used Redhat, I made it a habit to go to the developers website and downloaded directly. -- John______________________________________________________________________ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quis custodiet ipsos custodes icq: thales @ 17755648
