If you like RPM based installs, and you like the work Red Hat have done around Fedora, why don't you reward them for it? You can get RHEL for less than a buck a day: https://www.redhat.com/wapps/store/catalog.html See the Basic subscription for RHEL two sockets or less. In doing so, you are funding Red Hat, and Red Hat pays many hundreds of F/OSS developers. You get updates, bug fixes, new versions of RHEL when they come out, and so on. Everyone wins. Just my two cents. -- Thomas Cameron, RHCE, RHCI, CNE, MCSE, MCT Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
