Dpkg beats RPM hands down for anyone who has to actualy administer a number of boxes and wants everything as automatic as possible (for upgrades).
As far as being able to customize the distro - go all out. You can of course edit config files at the "vi" level ;) There are also tools to take the administration of a large number of machines to an even higher level. I don't know if the mass installs is a possibility. I imagine it depends on your idea of an automated install. -Nathan On Tue, 16 May 2000, Jeremy Hansen wrote: > > I'm a long time Red Hat user.
