thanks; for that matter, I have Slackware working just fine myself.
*sigh* I was hoping to streamline my operation by moving everything to
RPM's with better a better init system setup and libc6 up and running. To
this end, I was hoping RedHat or SuSE would get 90-95% of the job done for
me. Both fall in the 70-75% range, meaning its back to roll your own just
about everything. It's hard to believe there is still no one out there
putting together a distro aimed at network users (NIS/NIS+, NFS, etc.).
