I think I'll go with Kalum and Donald Becker on this one, but hey, who among us
is perfect? RH has made documentation on this available. 
http://www.redhat.com/support/alex/162.html
I must say now, when I was trying to compile my netdrivers from a file I new
to be intact, it did not work, so thats when I found the following link.
http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html
Funny thing is, I tried to compile three more times, no make that five more
times and the 5th tome it worked!! Why??
Anyway I am a happy RH user, Ive got 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 and 7.0 all boxed sets.
 My RH 7.0 box has been running for 8 months without a crash!! My windows
machines crash every day, but I need them to play my "shoot em up" games.
Maybe there are better distributions out there, but I am real comfortable with
RH and it does everything I need or want it too!

BTW Kalum I am using Prozilla and it rocks!! I took a friend to your Prozilla
page so he could get a copy and got an error, page not found or something like
that. Has the site moved? Fortunately we did a search and found another page in
a different directory with rpm's so no he has it too! That was Sunday night, let
me know where the page is, maybe it was under construction? I want to put a link
from my site to yours. Got any more projects in the works??
