> > >Dave ... there is no relationship between centos and rh ... > Sorry, that was poor wording. I didn't mean a relationship in terms of any official partnership between the creators. I meant a relationship in the sense that they share a lot of the same features and design. I mean, I don't know what RHE looks like, but I know that Fedora and CentOS look exactly alike, as far as my newbie eyes can tell. But really, it's not so much how Red Hat and CentOS connect or don't connect that I'm wondering about. It's more about the community of support for CentOS. I've been pretty impressed with the helpfulness of this list, and I don't feel I'm lacking support. I just feel like when I search the net for relatively obvious questions about CentOS, unless it's on the centOS web site, there's nothing out there. So I keep coming to this list with rock bottom basics. Let me qualify further. I know that probably a lot of issues I'm likely to ask about are more Linux specific than CentOS specific. And I also know that so long as I'm reading information about some kind of Red Hat build, it probably applies to CentOS. And I also know that most issues are to do with the applications rather than the OS. But as a newbie, I'm always nervous that if I take information about a Linux command from some Linux infortmation web site and apply it on my system, it will turn out as often as not that things don't work exactly as the web site says, because there's some setting somewhere that makes CentOS just a little different from what the web site says. It's really comforting when trying to look up information on the net to see the information provided in a context that is as close to your own as possible. Fedora seems to have lots of people saying they run it and here's what they did to configure whatever it was they wanted to configure. CentOS... not so much. Is it really just that CentOS is so new it hasn't taken hold yet? Dave
