This is the first time I have tried Centros and I must say that I am a very happy camper. But maybe my needs/goals are simple: I need HTTP and FTP servers that support Apache, PHP and Interbase (yes, that "funny" DB that runs and runs).
RH 9 was like that and so was FC 3, BUT FC 4 was something else...could not even get it to install (like others). And this forum has been VERY helpful for me. But I do feel a litfle guilt (sure it will diminish in time) because of all of the hours RH put into making RHEL 4 work smoothly. Of course the guys and gals on this forum are my support...not RH and so far nobdy has sent me a bill :-) !
Thanks to all as I go about installing Firebird (Interbase) and making an interbase.so file.

P.S. And thanks for putting up with my questions. Manuals and my dyslexia have never had a good relationship!

Why feel guilty? Red Hat puts a lot of people on GPL stuff they don't ever see a dime for, stuff that goes into the stock kernel, GCC (even, gasp, non-Linux targets!), etc... So why feel guilty?
Red Hat has always been, and always will be, a GPL company. That's all they do, GPL, GPL, GPL, it's their blood. Whether it's Linux or otherwise (and they do a bit of otherwise too ;-), it's GPL.

You can get support from Red Hat without paying a dime too.
