I am sure that he really meant the other way, "a RHEL User's introduction to Debian (and its far superior tools and ways)" I hope. I really hope. But since he is is using RH, I am afraid not. In any case, RPM dependency hell, rings a big bell to me. YUM and up2date are know to have significant deficiencies. I've seen and do have some experience with RHEL and its wonderful rolling ABI and API problems, unlike Debian "Stable". -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
