Actually, I was going to go for the whole works that they distribute 
so I wouldn't have to hunt most of it down later unless I need to 
update something.  I will settle for what's there already since I'm 
not a picky Linux user for the little bit of work that I use it for.

However, under RH 9 I do play around sometimes and explore since I 
have a pretty full install, thanks to Carl Boll sending me a 9 or 10 
CD set.  Now I've actually got my Linux box running 24/7 next to my 
Windows PC's in hopes that I can get Samba working (it stopped for 
some reason) so I can transfer some CoCo stuff back and forth an 
easier.  When I get Fedora or another modern build installed, I'll 
keep it running as well and consider it part of my development system.
