Just a side note: You can use either User-Mode Linux of VMWare to provide yourself with "breakable" boxen. Fixing broken things is "must-have-xp (experience)". Like I tell my students ... "In the old days, there was plenty of opportunity to get 'experience', and that's how we learned. Nowadays, things are so much more stable and/or documented that it takes additional effort." :^) I've been thinking about making a nice list of things to break, making a program to manage it, and then provide random breakages to help get fix-it experience. In my copious spare time, of course. ;^) -- Bill Anderson RHCE #807302597505773 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
