What else lurks out there? :) The main thing I was thinking of is all the updated packages that followed along the kernel development such as GCC, Libc, Modules Pcmcia, PPP. etc. Any way I am having a horrible experience trying to switch to RedHat as my base because my hardware didn't match their 1.2.13 configurations . IE mixed drives with ide as root but SCSI as swap a definate winner for swap. Laptop with PCMCIA controller not supported under 1.2.13. The point is I started tracking 1.3... months ago anticipating that 2.0.0 would really mean time for a complete update including many utilities GCC and Libc. I think I'll try a recompile although RedHat was fairly recent. I can't recomend a jump yet until the disributions catch up RedHat claims only 11 packages needed changing but I updated to them and had to immeadiately reinstall modules-2.0.0 Hubert
