I still see mention of RedHat 7.3 ... Has to be a manual patching nightmare by 
now. Franken-Distro?

Those come after the 32 hour days!

There are several links into the old faq-o-matic that I was going to fix up.
Some content in the wiki is similar, or more current, and I just linked to 
that. I can only do a little bit a day, as I was trying to do some today, and 
handling my normal (l)user calls, and the edit page kept warning me that I 
wasn't paying enough attention to it. (I think I need some more comma's in 
that last sentence... time for coffee!) So I just make small changes and 
preview and save so as to not lose my place.

I see some others have already been cleaning up behind me, such as the Solaris 
equivalent of tmpfs mounting. (Thanks Peter!)
