The same goes for WBEL and CentOS. > William, I agree with what you are saying - it is a Free World, and people can and should do as they please, however - if there are somethings that we could do better at CentOS or if we might be able to make the transition easier for people - I'd like to know how. And then if possible, maybe address those issues. And like I just said in another email - CentOS is not the only other option, there are others like SciLinux ( and RHEL! ) Finally, apart from the images - what else do you classify as being 'different' between CentOS and WBEL ? - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq
