Hi, We're going to be installing 5-10 RedHat OS'es on some Compaq BL10e blades soon. My question is which version of redhat is the most stable and friendly to other applications. I'd like to implement the version of RH that is most compatible with the RPM's and code out there on the 'Net.

Hi, Would you mind sharing some info about your setup? I'd rather use NFS and autfs/sym links to create a type of unified dir structure that I usually have done on SGIs that are very production worthy but am shy to do so on Linux. I can make the Linux NFS server choke with 10 clients and doing
