IMO RH is best run at run level 6   ;-)

My wife once called to say she had a menu on the screen, but it wasn't
one she'd seen before.

"Are you sure you want to verify this disk? [Y/N]"
(she'd got into the SCSI adapter menu :-(  )

...switch off the computer luv, NOW!

Mmmm
I broke the news to my *better* half that I couldn't get LBA/LBA2
(Little Big Adventure - terrific games) working under XP on my
workstation.

Later that evening, I found my wife staring at the Linux server
terminal, LBA install CD in hand, complaining that her login didn't work on
this box...
