[/sarcasm] Okay, now that that is out of the way, you're free to try what ever you want. But, I'll say that even at this point in time with the number of servers I administer I prefer to do it by hand. I want to know what's going onto my systems, and what the dependancies are. BTW, it looks like they pulled it from the Slack 10 cd's but there was a package management tool called swaret that some people really liked. I never used it personally. I agree with Zibbies, though. Chose what you want to run in regards to what you're after and comfortable with. I prefer Slackware, even though I administer Red Hat Enterprise v3 boxes at work. Not trying to start a flameware, just offering up another perspective. -- -Shawn "That which hits the fan, will not be evenly distributed." _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
