ahhh...ok, thanks. so, has anyone upgraded a box from a 2.2.x version to a 2.3.x version and lived to tell the tale? is the procedure for building 2.3.x the same as the one for 2.2.x? > FWIW, Red Hat Linux 9 will have 2.3.1 yea, i've heard the same, but i don't assume that Redhat is including what is deemed stable by the rest of the world ;) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
