Thanks Dave.  Don't worry about putting the ISO's online.  I have the
"woody" disks, and I see that "sarge" is still considered a test
release, so I'll stick with the stable release.

That is why a lot of physicists stayed with RH 7.x, it was more stable
than the latest RH releases, which were coming out too quickly (IMHO).

I'm not sure if I'll switch to Debian or to Fedora Core.  It seems
that the path may be easier from RH 7.x to Fedora, but I'm not sure.
I need to test each on a spare box to see which will work best.
