They're Red Hat because that's what they were running two years ago[1] when I took over this network and I can't be bothered to wipe them and install Debian. They work, the users don't care how old the software is, so why try to fix what's not (visibly) broken? > I really don't want to get nto the rpm *^LL biz! Me neither. That's why I tend to ignore them and just wait for the hardware to fail so I can replace them with Debian boxes or X terminals. [1] Or would that make them 5.x rather than 6.x? My inability to recall which version of RH they're running says a bit about how often I need to deal with them... -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
