And at that point you lose. All management capability or the ability to audit / track or even upgrade along the distro. Installing from source, is almost always the wrong solution; There are *some* places where it might be a workable solution, but really do you want your first line of machine defence to be from source ? Just the amount of effort needed to make something like that work is huge. - KB _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
