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 . -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."
