There are a few out there, they just don't propagate on *nix systems because of the pervasive security model. I probably over reacted with that part of my advice, but whenever I hear a phrase like "a few binary files were different," I loose my head.

If you like the redhat/fedora way of doing things, I can recommend CentOS: http://www.centos.org/ Cheers Adam > > Giorgio > > > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
