After the nightmares RH9 has given me over the past couple of months, I'll never use another RH product again. I really dislike the random locations the RH engineers put various unimportant libraries like kerbereos. I also dislike how they statically linked just about everything to everything else. It's a bloody nightmare. I'm preparing to give Gentoo a try. I've heard good things. My $.02 before taxes, Justin
