People, please, when you trash Red-Hat in this list, please at least specify what kind of experience you have with them. People have been saying things here that are in *COMPLETE* contradiction to my 5-year experience with various versions of Redhat. I suspect that some of the people trashing Red- Hat are not actually using it, and are just assuming things. In the last couple of years I've been using Redhat 7.* extensively both at home and at work. I've never encountered any problems with gcc 2.96 (certainly not with the Redhat 7.1 and later versions), but its greatly improved C++ support and other improvements over 2.95 were important to me. In all this time, I only encountered one "buggy" Redhat kernel, and that bug wasn't all that serious (reiserfs filesystems could not be umounted). In fact, I found Redhat's kernels to be very stable. > And I have asked this question *BECAUSE* I have a problem with an > appliance using RedHat 7.2, and with the Linux kernel supplied by > RedCrack. I guess you really love Red-Hat :) Please don't learn manners from Linus :( Referring to people you don't agree with as drug addicts is not a very nice thing... Anyway, are you using the *latest* update kernel for Redhat 7.2? -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Sep 26 2002, 20 Tishri 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |I am thinking about a new signature.
