I wanted to see if leaving Red Hat/Fedora behind was my only option first. The software that Red Hat has written, which is included with Fedora, and some of the other things they have done with their releases make me hopeful that I can stay with Fedora and/or Red Hat. Spending hours, days, or even weeks trying to restore my configuration after an upgrade simply isn't worth it, though. ____________________________________________________________________________ Bob Shaffer II - Owner/Developer/System Operator - BobShaffersComputer.com http://bobshafferscomputer.com/ telnet://bobshafferscomputer.com
