That is, better than CentOS.Ioannis Vranoshttp://www.cpp-software.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-77319467716692215762011-04-20T16:00:33.783-05:002011-04-20T16:00:33.783-05:00Hmm..

I've sampled other non-Debian distros but never found one I liked as well as what I had. It's good to get an idea of what else is out there.Adam Gonnermanhttp://igneousquill.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-88927676393147783642011-04-19T18:22:12.004-05:002011-04-19T18:22:12.004-05:00"Not associated with" != not based on.

Yes, they have something in common: their grand-parents (RHEL), but not more than that.DarkDuck (m)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06273784224243667602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-38008433938540020742011-04-19T13:17:09.590-05:002011-04-19T13:17:09.590-05:00Jeff,

It is a fork directly off the RedHat line. See here --> http://xrl.in/8uer<br /><br />Read CentOS' own take on this here --> http://xrl.in/8ues<br /><br />Ah... I feel better now. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the great stuff here. Keep up the great work. :)<br /><br />~EricV. T.
