My problem is that I don't have any - yet. |

I'm going to work for a company that uses RedHat and I will have to use my |
| 17 |
private laptop (Gentoo, of course). |
| 18 |
Since they develop software themselves I fear that I will have to use some of |
| 19 |
their customized or self-developed and not published software without access |
| 20 |
to the source (I don't think they'll trust me so much in the beginning). |

Well, it doesn't seem like there is an easy solution so I will play around |
| 23 |
with rpms in a chroot-jail to get used to it. If everything goes wrong I can |
| 24 |
still switch to an rpm-based distribution ... |
