Hi, I started using an LTS setup with a previous install of RedHat 7V3 with my own compile of KDE 3.0.5a (I think). Everything worked well.
My configuration is a LTS in one room running on an oldish 200MHz system, which doesn't have a disk drive, and the fans have been switched from 12Volts to 5Volts. It is almost silent - which was the requirement. This connects to an 800MHz system with 256MBytes RAM elsewhere via a 100Mbit/s network. I log into both systems as the same user. I then upgraded to RedHat 9, and things were not so good. When I logged in to the second system, the first would start giving errors - can't connect to DCOP server - or similar. The performance on the Terminal was sluggish with frequent hangs of the cursor movement. I found that RedHat change the KDE startup file - 'startkde' to 'clean-up' a previous KDE instance. This caused the DCOP server errors. To use RedHat 9 I commented out these lines in 'startkde': #rm -f ~/.DCOPserver-`/bin/hostname`_$DISPLAY #for i in /tmp/.ICE-unix/* /tmp/.ICE-unix/.*; do # [ -O $i ] && rm -f $i #done The other change was to do with 'locale' I was advised that UTF8 could impact performance, so I changed the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file to remove the UTF8 details. This may not be possible for all areas of the world, but seems to improve performance for me here in the UK. So just my experience with upgrading to RedHat 9. Overall I reckon LTS is totally brilliant. At work, I have just replaced one aging Windows system with an LTS. We already have several Linux servers, so it was a 'no brainer' Regards Trevor Hennion ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
