Good point. I'd say 80% - 90% of the book could be used on any *nix that had freeware available[0]. The only chapter that doesn't travel well is networking, which is heavy on IPTables and doesn't directly map to anything else and maybe a few other scattered tips. Those that immediately spring to mind are a tip that uses /proc and some that influence boot up settings. Dean [0] SSH, CVS, bash, perl are heavily used. -- Profanity is the one language all programmers understand --- Anon
