I can agree with that. One just can't get much better than "apt-get". -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

That is a really, really bad idea. Just FYI. On 10/03/2013 10:13 PM, Joe Ferraro wrote: Close. OEL 6 on Cisco UCS. But same same (ok, worse in my opinion).

Hello! Being right is my job, Cory. And as it happens, You're right. Red Hat only writes Linux that's not on Intel. I certainly hope Joe you're not running RHEL in there..... ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
