I tried Red hat once, but had much more success with Slack, myself, so haven't configured that kind of box yet. And no, I don't have *any* intention of leaving Slack any time soon. :-) No doubt you'll get a million suggestions for news, but I personally like slrn the best. It was by far the quickest I've found to set up, but then, I haven't looked too hard. It does everything I need. Good luck, and keep us posted. --Arthur Corliss Corliss Consultancy Anchorage, Alaska
