[ale] RedHat 6.0

[Christopher S. Adams]

i'd like to add that i found the iso on ga tech's ftp
i'll notify you when i finish (this'll take a while at 28.8, but i want it
too, dammit :)

i'd also like to add that if anybody has a linux related job opening (not
programming), i'd be happy to know.  school will be out soon and i'd like to
get in the loop.

Chris
