Alexis and Neil,

Thanks both for your advice.

I assume it was on a familiar platform, but I'm happy to hear it was easy.

It's the "cross you fingers" part that worries me.  I'd be happier if I 
knew others already had done it successfully.  I've never worked with 
CentOS and it's been a long while since Redhat.  I work with Ubuntu and 
occasionally with SUSE.  Very different admin environments.

My problem is  the client's provider: they will give me any Linux I want 
but they only provide management services for CentOS.  The client has no 
management capability as yet and and I don't really want be their sysop 
indefinitely.

I guess I'm going to have to set up a CentOS machine and try it out.

Thanks,
George
