[jim@macpenguin jim]$ uptime 2:13pm up 249 days, 19:42, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 These two boxes run RH 2.0.36 ... 1:13pm up 230 days, 19:21, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 1:18pm up 241 days, 23:42, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 but it does seem that RH seems to be bloating things. Slackware was the last Linux I used for an extended period and it was the purest of the Linux distos that I used. cheers, jim >Hello, > >Monday, September 03, 2001, 2:45:19 AM, you wrote: > >> I now realize I took a lot for granted when i used FreeBsd.
