You and all other are right in guessing this :-) I heard this comment w.r.t RedHat7.3, as that person avoided to upgrade from 7.2 to 7.3 due to his that fear. > the rule is for the kernel version. It mean, no distribution has ever (should) come with odd versioned kernel. > nothing to do with distro's version numbering >From you and from other's reply it appears that the statement is not true and more or less may one's own notion. But I found that Redhat 7.1 has "gcc 2.96" which is never released by gnu.org, has "octave"s instable (development) version. I also found RedHat 6.2 very stable. This made me to believe the "statement in discussion" to be true. -- H.S.Rai : ####[ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]########################### Sub : Console gibberish (#1) LOST #018 To clear gibberish all over the screen (e.g. after cat of a compressed or binary file) : Method #1: Use ANSI escape sequence: $echo -e "\033c" ####<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>#################################### : ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
