I have been in both CentOS and SL communities for some time now and see a number of people helping in both places. I tend to think all clones are members of a big family. Family members may have quarrels but they can help each other as well. :) In this particular case, as already pointed out by others, the -release packages are not installed by default in SL, so for most users they are non-existent. But having the -release rpm available in SL actually benefited me more than a few times. When helping someone who needs to install a kmod package from ELRepo, for example, it is just 2 commands away; yum install elrepo-release rpm and the kmod itself. Akemi
