You are absolutely right.
But I am kinda learning things. Like upgrading and stuff like that.
Moreover, I will learn more and more things, by doing such things
(That is what I feel.)

I simply want to learn things.
But yes, again, that was well put, and you proved your point.

But I am using Cent OS.....because I like Red Hat.
Simply not Fedora Core, cuz it is not for me. I have had bad
experiences with it.

But I will try it soon.(If this comes to my mind ;-) )
Moreover, the thing is, I am hooked onto Red Hat Systems. They have
brought me into the Linux world, and I want to master it .
