As I recall (it may have changed in the past two years), Red Hat wouldn't upgrade on a running system like Debian can, but required rebooting from an installation kernel. I've upgraded several Debian systems without having to reboot at all, including two which I did via a telnet connection to a remote site. If you think upgrading Red Hat is easy, Debian is even easier: apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade Bob -- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
