Evenin' all...
Not sure if this is the correct forum for the following material, but I'll
post it anyway. Perhaps it might help others in a roundabout way.
9.0.93 installed without fuss or incident on my dual Athlon 2000+ box. The
resolution applet is a welcome touch (I like to work on a big screen --
1600x1200 -- and it's nice not to have to fuss with XF86Config tweaks.
Installed J2SDK-1.4.2: NP.
Installed JEdit-1.4-final: NP, once I fed JAVA_HOME into the equation.
Installed MySQL-4.0.14-0 (binary RPMs): Crashed and burned during server
start (segfault). Installs fine on RH 8 and 9.
Installed Samba-3.0-beta3: Installs and runs like a top. I removed all
samba* RPMs first, then simply "rpm -ivh"d the single binary. One
unexpected and welcome bonus -- redhat-config-samba-1.0.8.1 functions
flawlessly with Samba 3.0. Added users, shares, passwords, the whole works,
without error. *If* Allison et. al. manage to get the final out before RHL
10 ships, it might be a worthy inclusion to consider for the final release.
I've been using Samba 3 (alpha and beta) on my main file server for almost
year now without a single hiccup or loss of data. Highly recommended.
Overall, nice work gents.
