Only difference is what's in the box and the support you get. Honestly, however, if you can wait a month or two, go with 8.1 - "dot-0" releases tend to help shake bugs loose whenever a major change to the distribution has been made. Plus, it will buy you more time on support - since presently Red Hat 8.0 is slated to be unsupported after 12/31/2003, after which point, you'll probably have to upgrade again. -Rick -- Rick Johnson, RHCE #807302311706007 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux/WAN Administrator - Medata, Inc.
