Haven't tried this at all... if it's "free"[1] I will. If it's a large extra cost, I'll stick with PCA :-) Also, do to the nature of many of the Solaris patches (which require reboots), the LiveUpgrade feature has been a life-saver. Not as necessary in the Linux world, but at least now I can patch my production servers more easily without scheduling a couple hour sof downtime. :) Ray _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
