Same with Fedora. There seems to be a fair amount of 'NDH' going on. I hope Not_Done_Here does not prevail in the long run. Smart really is, and it has helped me through upgrades, changes in distributions, Distributor problems (like coreutils. for the last week or so yum has failed on an update to that package but smart handled it just fine) and package interrogation (what is in the package and how does it relate to others).<BR>
<BR>
Can't do all that with Fedora's stock system.<BR>
