I have to agree with others that criticism without specifics is not much different than trolling.
I've been trying to grok setup on RH 7.2 and 8.0 lately, and I'm bewildered by the network setup. There appear to be three separate config files for eth0, but on second look they're all hardlinked to each other... what the hell's up with that? And, no matter what changes I make to them it doesn't seem to have any effect. The only way I can figure out what I need to edit is by running the script with /bin/sh -x and plodding through the output. On the other hand, Debian's network setup is very easy. I have faced problems in other areas on Debian, though: for example the am-utils shutdown script wasn't waiting long enough and causing big problems. But the maintainer was very responsive and all that's been worked out for a while now. There are opportunities for improvement in every distro, so the only remedy is to provide examples so they can be addressed. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
