You'll have much more reasonable results with RHEL (or centos) than with fedora in general - you'll not have to dork around with frequently rebuilding the machines when fedora stops issuing patches. Far as i can tell the "fedora legacy" project is barely on life support; don't count on them for anything. openafs.org won't necessarily issue RPMs for each and every RHEL point kernel release but rebuilding and making your own is not too hard; you'd just have to build your own openafs-kernel rpms that contained the module for the newest point release, put the new RPMs in a yum repo, and tell up2date (or yum if you went centos) where that yum repo was. danno -- Dan Pritts, System Administrator Internet2 office: +1-734-352-4953 | mobile: +1-734-834-7224 _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
