The >> downside is that I didn't get to eliminate any options =) If the cost is your only objection to RHEL then you might consider CentOS, which is based on RHEL but has no license fee. http://www.centos.org/ The only issue I have had with Red Hat derived distributions is their insistence on a threaded Perl.
