Alexander,
I just upgraded to fc2, so far I like it. I am having problems with a
cron job. Can you help me get mrtg to run as a cron every 5 minutes?
Thanks,
Steve

I heartily encourage you to upgrade to Fedora Core 1 at least. There is no
doubt that FC1 is a very solid release, an improved RH9. With FC2 came
bigger changes and until all edges are round FC2 certainly can make more
problems in some constellations.
RH8 is fairly outdated and if you do not pay much efforts and time to keep
your system bug free you will more shortly than in the long run have someone
else on your system being root too. Actually there are very much hosts
running older Redhat releases compromised. Nearly each of the hosts which
tried my SSHD for a weakness were rooted older Redhat system (from 6.2 up to
unpatched RH8 and RH9). I can ensure you, attackers know about systems being
in an unsupported state and how to use the weaknesses.
I am running FC1 since late 2003 on a remote, co-located machine, acting as
a server with virtual domain hosting for web, mail, mysql and can swear it
is very solid and as much reliable as I counted the Redhat 7.3 release. The
only downtimes the machine had were when rebooting with a new, security
bug-fixing kernel.
