This one is from a SL6 install. SL and CentOS are both RHEL.  I keep the 
system utilities stock (the same as TUV, RHEL in this case), except for 
the use of the graphics card driver from the graphics card vendor, not 
generic X (e.g., on this machine, the Nvidia driver for linux X).
I am switching to SL over CentOS because (1) we do not have funding 
luxury to license the binaries from RH and (2) CentOS 6 is not yet 
available despite RHEL 6.1 already having been released.  Other than 
re-branding, SL and CentOS both claim to be RHEL clones -- I know that 
the RPMs that work on RHEL release X work just as well on both CentOS 
and SL of the same release.

(Why not SL over CentOS?  A matter of history, not a specific choice. 
With the upcoming demise of Fermilab as a direct experimental facility, 
hopefully the EU will continue to fund CERN and not be shortsighted as 
USA neoliberal Republican Tea Partists force upon the USA, and thus 
maintain support for SL.)

I did not reformat / , /var, /usr .  Must these be reformatted?  Will 
X86-64 SL6 allow me to keep these as ext2 (no journal)?

Thanks,

Yasha Karant
