The recent failure of a GLibC update to run on anything other =>than a recent RH kernel brings a question to mind: why would I want to =>run a Red Hat kernel? => =>There's the convenience factor, of course, but stable kernel releases (I =>don't run the testing versions) are infrequent, so not much time is spent =>building them. => =>What are the benefits of running RH's kernels as opposed to the =>plain-vanilla current stable kernel? Take a look at your SOURCES directory after installing kernel-sources. There'a a *lot* of patchwork there that you just don't get with a stock kernel. I long ago gave up running stock kernels. -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have - -happened but none stranger than this.
