[ale] How do people deal with RHEL?

[Lightner, Jeff]

It may be "all [you] have read" but it certainly isn't "all" people have
"said".   Several people including me told you how you could get ntop
but you didn't like any of those answers.

It is not unusual for people to tell you things like the OS needs to be
updated.   If you're asking a question that implies you don't know the
way RHEL does things then it is natural to think perhaps you were
unaware of later versions.   For all we know you're running Windows on
100 servers and only one Linux box.  However, pretending that's all you
were told is fairly outrageous.

Where? All I have read is people telling me to stop using an old
version, or that because _they_ don't use the package then Red Hat
shouldn't include it, or people answering a question that wasn't even
asked ("how do I install this when it isn't in the main repo?").

Well that's not entirely true. You did state the same frustration with
other distributions and that you just give up and look for a third
party repo when you get frustrated.

I wasn't really trying to start a thread where I get help
administering the system. I was venting frustration, and thought maybe
some others would join in with their own
