RE: [newbie] Mandrakesecure.net
lol, I still have a 7.2 web server out there.. 11:20am up 121 days, 8:41, 3 users, load average: 0.08, 0.16, 0.12 I'd say that was pretty stable. the only time I reboot it is when it gets a kernel update.. I loved 7.2 Still, that machine will be replaced soon with a 9.2 machine as soon as I am satisfied that 9.2 is functional and stable enough. regards Franki -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Carroll Grigsby Sent: Thursday, 7 August 2003 8:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Mandrakesecure.net On Wednesday 06 August 2003 03:47 pm, Heather/Femme wrote: On Wed, 2003-08-06 at 09:48, Ben wrote: On Wednesday 06 August 2003 09:06, madwand wrote: Good morning (or afternoon) all, SNIP 3.are there any 9.1 installation hiccups I should know about?
