When I wrote my post I was thinking about our web servers when I wrote "commercial use". I've never used RH9 in our webservers (though two of the control panels we offer support it) because I didn't feel Apache 2 was far enough advanced to be used for commercial webhosting. While I now feel it is, I'm not willing to make the change to RHL for the few extra months of support available for it. For personal use... well that's a bit simpler; I'm currently writing this reply on my personal workstation in my home office, on RHL9. For the future? I'm studying Knoppix, as a way to get an easy install of debian linux, which is the longest lived entirely non-commercial distribution. I'm also considering two recent commercial Red Hat products; both RHPWS and RHEL3WS (at the half-price offer I received) are good options. > I upgraded my 7.3 personal systems to 9, after having redhat > installed on at least one system since somewhere in the 4's, I think, > and I have never had so many things break on an upgrade before.

I never upgrade between whole numbers. I always start fresh. I think most long-term linux users would agree with me. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, nobaloney.net, P. O.
