Agreed. I like the kitchen-sink approach for personal / workstation use. I always find new stuff (althoug I've been using RH for a while) and like the feeling that I needed something I never knew, it's already installed. *IF* properly managed, this is a good (or easier) approach. Of course, you have different requirement if you build something like a server. In that case, kitchen-sink is bad. RDB -- Reuben D.
