Don't be for RedHat is terriable although it is what I use. You see RedHat changes EVERYTHING the XF86 configs Inetd configs EVERYTHING is NON-standard and if I didn't have as much time invested in it I would trash it and use something else. It has it's upsides but I wish they would conform to the linux standards and stop being like Microsux. Joshua L.
