To get stability on the several SMP servers I run, I use FC1 with the RH9 kernel. These systems run really well. The RH9 kernel is still being patched for security problems. When that stops, and if the FC1 kernel is not fixed, I might have to try building the EL kernel from src RPM. Other than the SMP kernel, I think FC1 is the best linux distro I've ever used. The package management alone, with rpm and yum, is so good on FC1. I could not bare to go back to even RH9. -- Norman Gaywood, Systems Administrator School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia norm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Phone: +61 (0)2 6773 2412 http://turing.une.edu.au/~norm Fax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
