Jakub, Actually I think the problem is that Accelrys was trying to maintain compatibility with RHEL 2.1. I noticed from here... http://www.sun.com/service/eosl/linux/eosl_redhat2.1.html that while Redhat appears to have ceased selling 2.1 only last year support will continue until 2010, if I read that correctly. Can you point me to any web pages on the Redhat web site that have a more aggressive tone in pushing people to migrate off of 2.1. Unfortunately, Accelrys will read that as carte blanche to keep supporting RHEL 2.1 for at least a couple more years. Jack
