   Maybe I'll look into it again. MIGHT have been just an
   early-release brain-fart .......

   But it DID cause me lots of problems. Had to change three
   servers to UBUNTU because of the brainfarts. Hard to forgive.

   No, I do NOT like what Ubuntu has become ... I've been changing
   everything Ubuntu over to vanilla Deb lately. You know where
   you stand with vanilla Deb.

   Ummmmm ... I'd look into that. You CAN install almost
   anything RHEL into OpenSUSE fer sure .....

   All the DistroLords have brainfarts. The important bit is
   whether they quickly SMELL the stink and get reasonable.
   Some do, some don't.
