I used SuSE for like 3 years. It always "felt" well organized with respect to configuration scripts, but I wasn't sure if that was me just being naive or what? I'm not systems guru, so I wasn't sure. It just felt better. The last few RHEL releases, though, have been very good in this respect. > I'm sure I'm getting on the nerves of many.

Make it personal. No one is out to get you. There's no witch hunt. I think this thread has been very productive and interesting, personally. You're not getting on my nerves right now. This conversation has been very instructive and interesting to me. Preston
