Thanks for your good points, Ben. I'm making an exception to my decision to not post on this thread anymore; your post is as close to ontopic as any I've seen on this list about the future of Red Hat Linux. If my control panels were available for, and supported under, RHEL, I'd probably find myself doing just what you're doing, especially we have local support for creating complete RH-compatible operating systems. (A friend of mine, who may even be on this list, does the Red-Hat-alike distribution for one of the mail-order distribution houses; I'm sure he'd let me pay him to do the same for him <smile>.) But the fact is that I can't get the support for the Control Panels for RHEL. It was never my intent to rant on this list, and though a few people have written both on and off-list to let me know I brought up some good points, I'm not happy with what the thread has turned into. I merely responded to someone who asked a question, and look where it's gotten me <wry grin>. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, nobaloney.net, P. O.
