I haven't been quiet. I've mentioned it whenever the need has arisen. 7.2 sucks!! I installed it twice and had numerous problems. I helped 2 other people get it installed and they had numerous problems. I and one of the others went back to 7.1. The third party was really new and had stability problems. I'm going over next week to try it myself, but if it fails he won't even try to get away from Gate$-2K until I can find something more stable for him. It appears it's 7.2 or nothing for now because some of his stuff didn't work at all when 7.1 was tried, and 7.2 made some others totally erratic and unstable. Is that better? I still have faith that the future will be OK. I'll wait until something else comes out (7.3 or 8.0 or whatever) and judge that on its own merits or shortcomings. -- Earth first! We'll strip-mine the other planets later. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
