Major warning sign: the term `best practices'. AIUI this means `we want to do what everyone else is doing so nobody will sue us over it'. At work I'm very careful to make sure that our development boxes are not `maintained according to best practices', because the `best practices' that some of our customers insist we follow on their production machines make the machines almost unusable. (No bash, X in /usr/openwin, sh -> pdksh, an Xvfb running all the time with xhost + and DISPLAY in everyone's environment pointing to that... I'm amazed RHEL even boots after what they insist on doing to it. Of course they call these horrors `best practices'.) But, hey, they're paying. -- `On a scale of 1-10, X's "brokenness rating" is 1.1, but that's only because bringing Windows into the picture rescaled "brokenness" by a factor of 10.' --- Peter da Silva ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
