I've found 99% of the things I need on a CentOS (which I only use on home servers) is in the epel repository if it is not in the CentOS repository. Am I alone in regarding epel as more or less a part of CentOS? Does it have a rival in this role? What do you need that is not in CentOS + epel? Surprisingly, all 4 server machines I have seem to support CentOS, or RHEL which I take is the same for this purpose. None of them mention any other kind of Linux. I was surprised to find that the HP MicroServer only supports CentOS/RHEL or WHS, which I've never seen in use. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
