Joseph, some of the software I use is only "supported" by the vendor if I stick with RHEL. I would be happy to look at CentOS otherwise. I have never taken the time to try YUM since I understand it falls outside the boundary of good form on Red Hat. Thanks for the reply though - I'm still looking.

I'd suggest using CentOS on those internal machines and set up a local YUM repository to keep them up to date. If you do that, please send in your suggested donation so that the bandwidth costs can be defrayed. They got hit big when CentOS 3.3 came out a few months ago. Ended up with a $1500 ISP bill for the month. -- Joseph Tate Personal e-mail: jtate AT dragonstrider DOT com Web: http://www.dragonstrider.com -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
