Not so much, no. My Linux background is very Debian-centric, but I had no day-to-day problems at all a decade ago when I was first called on to admin Red Hat and Mandrake systems. Yeah, I occasionally tried looking in /var/log/syslog first before going to /var/log/messages and, true, all the web-server-related stuff was in .../httpd/ instead of .../apache/, but that takes, what, maybe a second once or twice a day, if that, to try one location first, then go to the other? Package management via rpm was more of an issue, but it didn't come up anywhere near on a daily (or even monthly) basis, so it didn't really matter if I had to check man first; today, yum is very similar to apt, so I'm right at home with it. Red Hat vs. Debian differences didn't take up even 1% of my time then and much, much less now. So I've gotta agree with Carl. Linux is Linux. -- Dave Sherohman
