Bull. Each distro has its own standards, and each package management system can be abused by ignoring those standards. Before you claim that RHEL puts files in any random place, take some time to read Fedora's packaging guidelines. While Fedora has evolved some since the last RHEL release, you'll find there is very much a logic to how things are packaged for both. You're just not as familiar with RHEL as you are with Debian. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
