I'm compiling Advanced server 2.1 sources in an effort to create an AS2.1 pilot installation so that management could evaluate it with the possibility of later buying one of the support licenses from RedHat.
While this is technically cool, I don't know if it's an accurate representation of a true RHEL 2.1 environment. Please contact me off list so that we can work out a real pilot for your environment.
If you wish to evaluate something newer, try the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Beta at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/taroon/en/
Now I'm compiling the sources again (this time on my initial install of AS2.1 build) to make sure the result is as close to what would come in an official AS2.1 distribution as possible. Naturally, I'm interested in including the most recent kernel in the resulting CD set. However, none of the kernel-2.4.18-* source RPMS from the updates
We do not ship a 2.4.18 kernel for RHEL. In order to get the updates for RHEL, you need an RHN subscription with the appropriate entitlements.
FWIW, the current errata kernel for RHEL is 2.4.9-e.27.
