Hi all,
Tried to upgrade from RH5.2 to 6.1 last night. System crashed six times.
Lost my temper and vaped the RH setup and returned to Debian. OK; RH is way
ahead of Debian technically. It looks like Debian will be releasing a 2.2
kernel just as the official 2.4 is released. But at least Debian is stable
and exim is a LOT easier than sendmail.
Thanks for all your help. I'll sign off the list now.
