Silly me, I thought the gentoo-users group was a firehose. And the one missing element in RH-centric distros is a common repository of RPMs for anything outside the core products. I've gotten spoiled by the gentoo repository. Given the size of their CD set, I would presume that SuSE is much better than RH in this respect. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
