Of all distro's to choose, you choose RH 7.0???? I believe if you are
having problems now w/upgrades and problems.. you ain't seen nothing
yet. If you are not going to be running Mandrake, at least run something
like SuSE as it wasn't built on a broken compiler. You will have many
more hidden problems down the road.
This opinion is worth exactly what you pay for it.
