trying to install a module

[Steven Elling]

It is unfortunate that Redhat has made it to where TLDP (www.tldp.org) can't 
be used for their distribution of Linux.  In my opinion, Redhat being the 
way they are also makes Linux as a whole look bad to the new, potential and 
non-technical users.  Of course, I haven't used Redhat since 5.1 so I 
observe what others say about Redhat and what problems they have.

I'm sure there are other distros that are this way too.
