Believe me, I know... I'm managing over 20 Linux servers right now, and
this is the only one that's years out of date... and that's purely
because we're stuck at the version of Filepro we're on. I tried
installing it on several newer distributions (of SuSE, Fedora, Mandriva)
a year ago, and something in one of the core libraries held us
back--SuSE 9.0 was the newest we could get to run.

It's behind a firewall, with only SSH accessible...

Cheers,
