> Hi, I've heard alot about RedHat 8 being really > unstable. Is RH 9 like this or have they fixed most of them? I run RH8 on a couple of PCs & RH9 on my most modern box. My RH8s are rock stable, but there is minimal software running on both of these (one apache server, one samba/nfs shares) My RH9 box locks up solid after a couple of days if I a) am logged into a window manager (either kde or gnome - both the same) AND b) I haven't touched it for about 48hrs so I'm thinking there may be an issue with X, or power saving (tried turning off all saving features I can find and I don't believe there is anything compiled into the kernel anyway). It also uses an SIS serial IDE controller & only a serial hard disk, which may be giving issues. This is the only box I run X or window manager on though - and I haven't really had time to investigate. I use apt4rpm to update all, and I've put some fairly unstable packages on the RH9 box - but the lockups were occuring before I put these on anyway. cheers H. ------------------------------------------------------------------- To remove yourself from this list, email nzlug-request@linux.net.nz with "unsubscribe" in the body of the message.
