The Redhat RPM way is very differant and it would be very helpfull for you to put the Ubuntu machine aside for a couple of weeks. Out West the Good Sammy's have cheap machines. You could use your current rat/keyboard/monitor and setup everything to work on CentOS. 200M Pentium and up would be quite useable. THAT would be worth as much as all the study-learning put together. Also it would make the learning-exam parts more *real* and you'd learn and remember. The harder it is the more you'll learn. If you can setup your Slackware then this should be quick n easy. (Not that SW is hard, it's not, they just don't hold your hand so tight) James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
