However, do bear in mind that Red Hat 8.0 will not go away -- and in a few months there will be 8.1. Red Hat 8.x is here and is a reality that must be faced. If application software doesn't work well with a popular Linux distribution, IMO the appropriate response is "Let's find out why, and work to get the problems fixed, either in that distribution or in our software". A response of "Let's just not use or recommend that distribution" is not likely to be a useful long-term approach if you want the application to be widely used :-) FYI, I don't actually have Red Hat 8.0 on any production servers here yet. I do have Cyrus 2.2 from CVS running against db-4.0.14 though... on Red Hat 7.3.
