Gerry, That makes perfect sense. We only install security patches on Solaris and very few others (like Xsun patches on workstations). It just seems to me that even new production versions of RedHat seem to break things, as if they are always sneaking something in without a whole lot of regard for binary compatibility. I know SunOS/Solaris in it's early years had some bugs, but for the last several years I can't imagine a Solaris upgrade that would start breaking Unidata-type things. That being said, I have also come to realize that no matter what I may think, the world is rushing headlong towards Linux. Is there a distribution out there that is more conservative in it's approach to binary compatibility? Although it may be a little too exotic, I am also going to look at FreeBSD upon the recommendation of Tom Yoksas. We are certainly not going to get away from Solaris, but it is clear I need to broaden my horizons so to speak. Thanks, Robert Mullenax
