Don't worry. I'm not defecting. This episode just confirmed for me that Slackware is still the best distribution for servers out there. This stupid Redhat glibc snafoo that sent me out there doesn't happen with Slack. I'v updated a few Slack 8.0 to 9.1 without this kind of issue. Yes. The system started whining about not finding glibc version just like Redhat did but it didn't die. I reboot them once or twice during the upgrade just to be sure the startup scripts still work. Some of them change. But Slack doesn't die.
Redhat should make a good workstation if you have the extra hardware to drive it. You've seen that Slack is faster on the same hardware. Redhat 9.0's hardware detection is pretty good. It comes on 3 CDs and you will use all 3. Redhat has an "Add/Remove Programs" utility that makes it easy to adjust what you have installed from the CDs. I'm guessing there is a way to tell it where you want to install from but I haven't put much effort into finding where that is. So it doesn't do me much good here when the server is over there.
